It would be great to have a dedicated page to display all the products, that have been created by Stripe Payment Links. So when I shared the link, customer also can have an option to navigate to that page and view other products, available right there to purchase.

For this demo link for example, I wanted to see other stickers in "Stripe Sticker Shop". May be this more of a e-commerce feature, rather than a payment/checkout solution, but after all it is all about selling and buying.
Good "old" SFML, I made a lot on that. But now I feel(&fear) is dying.

It's very well written and, in my experience, it beats SDL in everything ( from readability to functionalities )

Code is not primarily written for other programmers. It's written for the computer, the primary purpose is to tell the computer what to do. Readability is desirable, but inherently secondary to that concern, and abstraction often interferes with your ability to understand and express what is actually happening on the silicon - even if it improves your ability to communicate the abstract problem. Is that worth it? It's not straightforward.

An overemphasis on readability is how you get problems like "Twitter crashing not just the tab but people's entire browser for multiple years". Silicon is hard to understand, but hiding it behind abstractions also hides the fundamental territory you're operating in. By introducing abstractions, you may make high-level problems easier to tackle, but you make it much harder to tackle low-level problems that inevitably bubble up.

A good symptom of this is that the vast majority of JS developers don't even know what a cache miss is, or how expensive it is. They don't know that linearly traversing an array is thousands of times faster than linearly traversing a (fragmented) linked list. They operate in such an abstract land that they've never had to grapple with the actual nature of the hardware they're operating on. Performance issues that arise as a result of that are a great example of readability obscuring the fundamental problem.
how about each of us writes a very polite letter to those guys explaining why this was a bad idea?

I'll add that to the list of pending posts!

For the most simple MNCA implementations, I don't use any special optimizations. It's essentially just brute-force naive convolution.

That said, some of the more advanced models I've made use up to 48 neighborhoods.

For those, I split the neighborhoods into 'Width-1' rings for each 'Radius' value, and then assemble the final neighborhoods by referencing some combination of those rings.

For the 'RGB-SMNCA' models with a maximum Radius of 10, this means that I can reduce the total texelFetch() calls from a maximum of 163348 = 16,704 (!!!) down to 13348 = 1044.

These numbers come from: ( Neighborhoods * Color Channels * Radius-10 Neighbor Count )

3D (S)MNCAs are something I certainly plan on developing, and will likely implement after I'm finished with the headless_engine branch of VulkanAutomata, which will hopefully (finally) allow for a proper cross-platform compatible application.
I’m interested in how these perform in bad weather, or even just strong winds. Presumably they’ll get knocked around more than aeroplanes due to their bigger profile?

> The Vietnamese won because they managed to inflict sufficiently large number of American casualties that the US lost the will to war. Some folks say wars are won by logistics and not tactics. But it seems that Vietcong guerrilla tactics were far superior to American ones at the time.

It's also worth mentioning that the US had no reasonable way to "win". The threat of Chinese involvement prevented them from invading the north, and strategic air campaigns alone aren't enough when it comes to guerrilla warfare.

Strictly speaking, no language features are required other than the bare minimum, and we can write everything in assembly. The fact of the matter is that golang remains has failed to make headway into the UI space, and its language features make it very poor to work with for large code bases.

What leads you to separate "imagination" from "exists"? Isn't imagination also "part of the same system"?

Imagination definitely has the capacity to affect the world, so it's not obvious in what way it's "not real". Why do you draw a hard line there?
Top 10 Tips on How to Become a Great Tech Leader for Remote Development Team

The definitions given for these "logical fallacies" are packed with rancourous comments that don't throw light on the nature of the fallacy. The names given for them are not the standard names; the classical Aristotelian fallacies are usually named in Latin (and they aren't all there).

And indeed, a lot of the so-called fallacies are not fallacies at all, because they aren't a type of faulty argument or reasoning; they're just sayings.

This is a much better list of fallacy definitions:

I am genuinely curious: Was this at least partially in response to the bots over the weekend spamming "JOIN #LIBERIA ON LIBERIA.CHAT"? Because that probably didn't come from libera staff or even from the libera network, for that matter.
Ah, but did they write a story about that?
I just added two branches:

'messy_update_branch' - The current full version of VulkanAutomata that has become somewhat bloated and scattered, and almost certainly less compatible

'headless_engine' branch, something I started working on a couple of days ago to really clean up and refine the code, and remove any OS-dependent aspects.

I hope to use 'headless_engine' as a part of a larger cross-platform application with a separate and modular UI, so that other people can finally run the program!
The article says otherwise, though. Using HTTP verbs properly is not sufficient for an API to be fully REST-based.

I agree, yes. I’m just reacting to what seems to be an excuse for what can be done at the individual level.
I also think there are a lot of connections we make in relation to our muscles : after some decades my hands can still play piano pieces I learned when young and my torso and legs can balance and ride on a bicycle immediately after many months of not. Perhaps the brain is not the only store of memory.
I'm severely lacking in the virology department, but what I have read is that it clearly is, without a doubt, not man made.

That leaves the escape from lab hypothesis. Which is certainly has not been disproved. Maybe the scientific community should just ask themselves, how could it have happened and how could it have been avoided?

I don't believe at all in blaming China, that is just xenophobia in disguise. Would you blame India for the Indian variant, or the UK for the British variant?
Wow I can't believe I just realized why Bad Apple is used for this, 2-3 hours after reading the article…
We should rebrand REST to Rest to emphasize that the original meaning is lost and that we just use it as a shorthand for a http like API. When it comes to web it's best to set our standards as low as possible because being right doesn't seem to have any advantage over being wrong wrt adoption.
My editor can fold/jump, no issues there. Though to be fair vi can easily do it for languages that use {} for blocks which Python is not for example. But it breaks my flow nonetheless. Instead, if I had a function my reading flow is not broken. I can skip over the details of how "calculateX()" is achieved. All I need to know at the higher level of abstraction is that in order for this (hypothetical scenario) piece of code to do its thing is that in that step it needs to calculate X and I can move on and see what it does with X. It is not important how X is calculated. If calculateX() was say a UUIDv4 calculation, would you want to inline that or just call "uuid.v4()" and move on to the next line that does something interesting with that UUID now?

You mention debuggers too. Here I can't jump easily. I still can jump in various ways depending on your tooling but again it is made harder. With proper levels of abstraction I can either step over the function call because I don't care _how_ calculateX() is done or I can step in and debug through that because I've narrowed it down to something being wrong in said function somewhere.

Maybe you've just never had a properly abstracted code base (none are perfect of course but there's definitely good and bad ones). Code can either make good use of these different levels of abstraction as per Clean Code or it can throw in functions nilly willy, badly named, with global state manipulations all over the place for good measure, side effects from functions that don't seem like they would etc. If those are the only code bases you've worked with I would understand your frustration. Still I'd rather move towards a properly structured and abstracted code base than to inline everything and land in code duplication hell.

The M1 is used in the iPad Pro so your example is definitely possible. (or your comment was sarcasm in which case: woosh to myself)
Beads: Computer language and toolchain
Kinda agree. I as an iPhone user, am completely aware of the fact I'm not only buying "just a device" but I committed myself to an ecosystem.

And I did so, quite willingly as I place my trust in Apple and how they control and guard the quality and safety of the software that I can put on my iPhone.

Now I can understand the sentiment of "free choice". But we're not talking about public utilities here. These are all commercial products provided to us by private companies. The choice we have is to not accept the offer as a whole. The market has spoken however and it seems we - the general public - are ok with how Apple runs their company.
iPhones do not use the A1 chip as of quite a few years ago. Besides, the M1 and the A12+ have significant microarchitectural similarities, to the point that the DTK used the A12Z.

Furthermore, the keyboard app extension and the keyboard app are installed as a single package whose components are not supposed to communicate, hence why I brought this up.
> But, that also requires you to have your microservices cut out in suitable sizes, which requires you to at one point have understood the system well enough to cut them apart.

Sure, but that’s not particularly hard; it’s been basic system analysis since before “microservices” or even “service-oriented architecture” was a thing. Basic 70s-era Yourdon-style structured analysis (which, while its not the 1970s approach, can be applied incrementally in a story-by-story agile fashion to build up a system as well as doing either big upfront design or working from the physical design to the logical requirements of an existing system) produces pretty much exactly what you need to determine service boundaries.

(It’s also a process that very heavily leverages locality of knowledge within processes and flows, so its quite straightforward to carry out without ever having to hold the whole system in your head.)
How do we know how much of it is mental capacity? Obviously we wouldn't have been able to do these things without hands for example, and we can't really communicate with animals in a direct sense, so it's not easy to judge their intelligence

100% agree, HATEOAS is rather useless for machine-to-machine. And it shouldn't come as a surprise that most APIs decide to not commit to this design constraint.

I prefer to think of real-world APIs as coming in varying degees of RESTfulness depending on the design constraints they have chosen to conform to. Good engineering is about making judicious analysis of the trade-offs involved, if HATEOAS doesn't bring you anything dropping it is the right thing to do.
Sorry, if I used it out of context.

I was under the impression that virus formation (copying, mutations and all that) was indeed a statistical process. But maybe I am wrong?
morally ambiguous act of consuming

What? I mean, you can argue that it’s “morally ambiguous” in the same sense that almost everything is ambiguous, for example being happy and enjoying an evening with your friends while some people in the world are suffering. But otherwise I would argue that buying a smartphone in a capitalist society is a much less “ambiguous” act than eating meat in a communist society, for example. But in general if one is familiar with the basics of economics, one should understand that for the growth of standard of living (that includes health of your parents, for instance, not just “mindless pleasures”) there needs to be the growth of economy. And for that, consumption is essential. So yeah, consumption of in-good-faith sustainable and environmentally-friendly goods, consumption of local stuff and especially consumption of services is not that ambiguous at all. You contribute to economies going and to communities’ well-being.
It's never winner takes all. There is space enough for a whole lot of languages. Keep in mind in the early days of Python it was pushed by Google. They specifically looked and advertised for python developers. That is more of a push than any company ever did for Rust.

Rust barrier to entry compared to C/C++ is debatable. Lots of universities for instance have courses in them. They have a whole lot of books and a large community out there.

I disagree about 2 and Rust. Those companies have projects in them and they are a part of rust foundation. They are however not mass employing Rust developers and only AWS has components for core stuff in Rust. Of course it is debatable for what is a core component.
Not parent, but there has been a popular alternative facts campaign that aims to discredit PCR tests, partially on misunderstanding how PCR tests work (e.g. ct values, false positives etc.) and partially on technicalities that PCR tests show the existence of virus DNA, which in theory could also be present without the host developing an infection.

Google Corman-Drosten review if you want to go down this rabbit hole, it's both fascinating and horrifying to see the state of the art of pseudo-science.
Slightly OT but American society seems extremely weird to me.

Most Americans grow up in low density suburbs, move to hyper dense college towns for college, get a job in ultra dense cities then finally get a house in the low density suburbs once they want to start a family at which point the cycle repeats.

I don’t really understand how anyone can go from the dense hubbub of a city back to the routine boredom of a suburb without losing their mind. Just picturing that seems isolating, yet most Middle Class Americans choose this path willingly. I’m not a psychologist but my armchair theory was just that suburbs is what they consider “proper” environment to raise children since that’s how they grew up.
If you dream about decentralized IRC and the IRC Foundation the last thing you should do is to pick a fight against a new member of the IRC ecosystem.

There is no inappropriate advertising in discussing or moving between alternative implementations in the decentralized world. You should embrace it and build on top of it, as Fediverse does. You should build bridges, build common policies, setup possibilities for easy migration between servers, come up with the agreement on reuse of the same names for the same channels and so on.

So far the only version of the "decentralization" we have seen is you trying to take full ownership of the network on your own terms fighting against competitors, and really not understanding what you are doing. This is not how it works.

I am not sure if it is even possible to repair what you have broken now, but you can still try.

According to the north it was one war of independence against France, the US and then China.
It is oversimplistic to say the Islamic Revolution was a response to that, because the Shah was already gone when Khomeini returned from exile. Rather, the general Iranian Revolution (with its heavy involvement of Communists and other secular movements) was a response to the Shah's dictatorship, and then the subsequent Islamic Revolution was a taking advantage of the resultant power vacuum.
You failed to mention the times the US was on the right side of history. Most importantly, it defeated the USSR, which was, as Ronald Reagan correctly pointed out, an evil empire.

Regarding the video loading, it's really unclear what the issue might be. I have a couple of suspects though...

- Video resolution is larger than 1920 × 1088
( https://www.caniuse.com/?search=video > Known Issues )

- The videos contain no audio track
( https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mp4-h264-video-doesnt-al... )

Anyone else have ideas?

Other than that, I'm not sure. I've added direct media links under each video - hopefully that works until I can try some fixes.
Such things will never stop being utterly absurd to me. More often than not it seems that Taiwan is alone (particularly interesting was WHO's antics with covid-19 last year), and everybody plays pretend to please the CCP, and it's so obvious these statements are not well-intentioned, except for the purpose of profits (or political reasons). Pampering an authoritarian government.
+1; there are so many more important factors before the smaller things start making a very noticeable difference. A Neumann U 87 into a 1084 or VoxBox will sound marvelous with good talent giving a great performance, but that performance would still sound damn good with a $100 Shure SM57/58 into a Focusrite interface costing about the same. It’s never been easier or cheaper to be able to make music that’s good enough to get plays on Spotify.
