I have indeed, it's great.

My primary motivations for doing something different was that Blueprint currently doesn't work on mobile (and I'm not sure it could ship on the iOS app store currently, with it using Duktape), and I wanted to get away from writing any C++ at all for the UI – and also that I love playing with this kind of stuff, heh. The app that I work on is built using React Native and JUCE (and Unity), so it's an area I have a lot of thoughts about!

TBH the web stuff started out as an experiment, but I'm actually pretty impressed by how practical web is for building UIs – I've got some nice integration going on to make it pretty natural to write plugin UIs. I'll post it on here when it's ready, but if you have a Twitter/email/whatever you'd like to share or can contact me via mine in my profile, I'd be happy to share with you in advance – I'd love to get feedback from people interested in this area.
Ben argues that even the Apple question is murky enough to make it impractical for regulation to step in. Expanding the question only muddies the waters even more. For any actual change to occur the underlying issue needs more focus and clarity. I would say follow the email trails and focus more specifically on Spotify, iBooks and conflict of interest
Might I bring up the Foxconn factory in WI...

As a midwesterner, I'll believe it when it's built. Otherwise to me it's just another means of washing bribe money somehow.
The sound from my monitor (DisplayPort) is definitely not as good as what comes directly from my PC, even without a DAC

The Apple USB-C to 3.5mm doesn't break the bank, works with Windows fine and the headphone nerds seem to rate it
Most terminals do behave like this, or am I missing something? Sure it has some nice extras like help messages and icons but those aren't that important, right? Even super niche shells like xonsh [1] has visual autocomplete [2]

You are referring to 2 comments both heavily downvoted.
Not so much a loophole, but back in the 50s all kinds of income were treated the same which meant you could write off your income against your investment losses.

I think it's naive to assume that rich Americans back then weren't working the system. If it was so great, why do we tax different kinds of income differently now?
You have to be naive to believe that Uber/Lyft has the best interest of the people rather than their share prices when they are able to write and pass their own laws.
My rule of thumb has always been a button does something, a link takes you somewhere.
The comparison is a weak one. Sending a fighter jet to intercept an aircraft in your airspace is not the same as denying permission for an aircraft to enter your airspace.
Yikes, I hope I don't have to read documentation to understand how the code deals with failed records or other use cases. Good code would have the use cases separated from the send_records_to_database so it would be obvious what the records were and how failure conditions are handled.
Very interesting UX observations on interactive programming.

Kinda like mirrors in waiting areas, I wonder whether judicious logging messages about the compilation process (not a wall of text, but just enough) will serve to keep users engaged while also educating them about the compilation happening on the backend. That will help users feel more agency, and also improve their mental models of how to structure their code/activity for faster compilation.
minor nit but hundreds of thousands of years is more accurate.

Hominids’ use of fire is historically deep and pervasive. Evidence for human fires is at least 400,000 years old, long before our species appeared on the scene. Thanks to hominids, much of the world’s flora and fauna consist of fire-adapted species (pyrophytes) that have been encouraged by burning. The effects of anthropogenic fire are so massive that they might be judged, in an evenhanded account of the human impact on the natural world, to overwhelm crop and livestock domestications. Why human fire as landscape architect doesn’t register as it ought to in our historical accounts is perhaps that its effects were spread over hundreds of millennia and were accomplished by “precivilized” peoples also known as “savages.” In our age of dynamite and bulldozers, it was a very slow-motion sort of environmental landscaping. But its aggregate effects were momentous.

...The evidence suggests that long before the bow and arrow appeared, roughly twenty thousand years ago, hominids were using fire to drive herd animals off precipices and to drive elephants into bogs where, immobilized, they could more easily be killed.

OK. That wasn't clear at all from the description of "foundational" in the article, which instead discussed the "trusted computing base" of the provers.

I assume you mean racial minorities? No reason to beat around the bush. It's definitely true that black men are pulled over way more than white guys. My brother would always get harassed by police when he was riding with my friend. They see a white kid and a black kid in a car and pull them over for stuff like "Suspicious right turn", "Driving under the speed limit" and "I couldn't see your seatbelt."

I don't know about drawn weapons though. The only time anyone I know was pulled over at gunpoint (Felony stop) was my Dad because his White Toyota "Matched the description" of another vehicle. (And like 100,000 others) I don't know what it is like in the cities.
Which was a silly suggestion, and if you look at their competitors (nordic track being the primary) - they have no such plastic guard. Their fix is a pin, you can return the treadmill if you don't like that option.

The only thing that plastic guard will do is create a spot for clothing and fingers to get caught.
This looks brilliant, but...

Sending CLI input data, even just the root command, back to Fig is going to be a deal breaker for a lot of companies. Too high a risk :-/

If you don't need that data, don't collect it. I am sure it will lead to interesting analysis, but it will also leak a lot from companies who are unwilling to let that stuff leak.
I think you're confusing ecosystem (which word itself implies process) with equilibrium. It's quite fair to say that there was an actual ecosystem at least until the establishment of writing, at which point state information became transmissible across time and space beyond the capacity of individual organisms or eusocial colonies.

While you are correct that evolution would sooner or later take over, whether with assistance via cloning or blind luck if humans were to go extinct, you do need to consider the possibility that under some circumstances systems can collapse rather than bouncing back over a relatively short timeframe. Life would eventually re-establish itself, just as life persists in extremely arid desert conditions, but there's no guarantee it will do si n a timely fashion, and by timely here I mean on a timescale short enough for a human civilization to flourish in parallel with it.
I think they are buying because of the audience.
It’s not the function, but the form that’s wrong with those treadmills
I suspect that we don't fully understand the extent to which we depend on biodiversity.
While I don't necessarily doubt any of the data cited in this article, this article isn't science, it is fearmongering propaganda. Not that we shouldn't be fearful. But the information should instill fear if there is something to be afraid of, not articles like this that are almost entirely devoid of information. Terrible, terrible article.
I think part of the problem is imitating having abstraction boundaries without actually doing the work to make a clean abstraction. If you’re reading the source code of a function, the abstraction is failing.

The function calls you write will often “know too much,” depending on implementation details in a way that make the implementation harder to change. It’s okay if you can fix all the usages when needed.

Real abstraction boundaries are expensive and tend only to be done properly out of necessity. (browser API’s, Linux kernel interface.) If you’re reading a browser implementation instead of standards docs to write code then you’re doing it wrong since other browsers, or a new version of the same browser, may be different.

Having lots of fake abstraction boundaries adds obfuscation via indirection.
There are also cases where the differences in amplifiers are obvious - for example some headphone/amplifier combinations have issues with low frequency response (related to impedance IIRC)
As an alternative to MATLAB/Octave, may I suggest using Python with Jupyter Notebooks?

For exploratory/analysis/prototyping work, I have not found a better platform and ecosystem. These notebooks are really powerful feature-wise, you can mix Markdown notes/documentation with code blocks with data visualization natively, which is a no brainer when doing your research work.
ECC fails to prevent rowhammer in more or less exactly the same way that address space randomization and similar hardening techniques fail to prevent stack smash attacks.

Which is to say, it basically prevents rowhammer in a practical sense. You can flip the bits, but you don't have the level of control needed to flip the right bits.
It's the other way around. Why buy this newspaper when I already have a computer?

This is great. Really looking forward to learning more about this. I wonder how automated it will be.
Honestly, most people do not care whether you're doing client side or server side. Regular people don't even notice a difference.
> It doesn't matter. If the only thing that people are doing with this "amazing tech" is speculation, that's all it's good for.

This is a ridiculous statement. When electricity was first developed all it could do was kill animals. Does that mean that's all it's good for?

Because the current most popular use of it is something you've personally deemed as "not a use-case", phrasing which you have moved away from.

> Indeed, you didn't. Because blockchain apologists very rarely do, since for 100% of cases the proposed blockchain solution doesn't solve the posited problem.

This is inappropriate. I could easily have dismissed your initial arguments as simply being a blockchain hater and we'd get precisely nowhere.

> 1. Doesn't need blockchain
> 2. Blockchain doesn't solve the problem of "ensuring integrity of food labeling and efficient management of quality and contamination issues."

This is a silly argument. Many things don't need electricity but electrifying them made them useful for certain new use-cases. Similar with Wifi, Bluetooth, etc. It's hardly "useless" to stick bluetooth and batteries into headphones but you can absolutely have them without it.

The idea that something doesn't "need" a technology has never been a driver of whether or not uses exist for applying that technology to that thing.

I provided a review of the data from the IEEE, a recognized industry standards body.

From the article you supplied:

> It didn’t take long for that dream to fall apart. For one thing, there’s already a costless, instant way to exchange value without a middleman: cash.

How does one exchange cash seamlessly and instantly with cash from say, California to Germany?

In the rest of that paragraph the author suggests that bitcoin wouldn't work but VISA and MasterCard absolutely can.
What happens when VISA or Mastercard decide to cease business with an entity? Why is it okay to require a percentage to process transaction fees rather than a standard fee? How is a percentage with minimum cost model (Visa/Mastercard/Amex/etc.), which the author lays out later on about microtransactions, better for the business owner or the user? There are no sources on those particular points, there's no clarification as to why it's a superior system, the author doesn't discuss the history of the systems at all, etc. It's very lacking in context, research, and salient factual points.

In fact, almost every following example provided in the article falls into this trap: "Company X can already do this! blockchain was never needed" -- that is a poor argument.

To view that blog post as a reputable source seems very strange to me. If that view is where you're sourcing most of your opinions on the usefulness of blockchains, then I'd suggest looking for other viewpoints. I'm unsurprised that some in the financial industry don't want a nearly-free way to send money around the globe instantly, just as I would be if someone working at a large crypto exchange was spouting off about how cryptocurrencies are simply the greatest thing around, ever and you should sink your life savings into them.

* No telemetry/phoning home without explicit opt-in

* No DRM/copy protection

* No root access required

I remember hearing the governor of WI so proud of "WisconValley" as he dubbed it. And it was all basically an elaborate tax scam by FoxConn which sucked up a bunch of tax money and basically evaporated.
Those aren't particularly bad, but dick jokes have no place in a professional workplace imo. I'm so very weary of it. And yes, in the past I was part of the problem. Then I grew up.

It's probably too late for you :), but I use native-comp Emacs and it's blazing fast. At least lsp-mode+gopls is. I haven't gotten the chance to use this setup with Typescript's LS, but I've used gopls+clangd without slow downs.

Also, dang I miss coding in TS instead of Go.
I think you're choosing an arbitrary standard to defend your narrative. "Protasevich broke laws, but these are not laws that we consider bad."

I could also say that "being a whistleblower about a government agency violating the rights of millions of it's citizens" is something that Western democracies claim to protect, when it's not happening to themselves.
Russia had no reasons to take down that plane. The air space was open with planes flying over Donbas every day. A bunch of monkeys mistook it for a Ukrainian military plane and blew it up.
It won’t happen here, but in the Foxconn case a better alternative would have been to not grant the incentives and “lose out” on Foxconn coming to Wisconsin.
Me too! And I been following this for as long as I remember. iirc, Digital A11Y too recommends that.
Great spot, can be useful for pet projects. Bookmarked. Thank you
I’ll bite: are the majority of jobs going to support middle class lifestyles. I used to live in a town where there was a decent amount of manufacturing and your basic “machine operator” was probably getting paid less than what retail companies are offering right now.
I certainly have no idea on the formality, I do remember on 9/11 discussion about whether the airforce had shot down flight 93.

There was a British "reality tv" show a few years later where some idiots got to run the country (heh). One scenario had a plane approaching London and refusing to divert to Stansted. The people 'in charge' just ran the clock down, not making the decision to fire, and the plane crashed into westminster, so not a total loss I guess.
I will say that I've gotten a quote for an entire conversion kit that includes a Tesla Model S battery pack, motor, controllers, custom couplers for about $20k for my Jeep Wrangler. It's obviously not going to get good range since the Jeep is a giant box but all things considered I paid about 7500 for my old jeep to restore so $20k on top of that is basically a brand new Jeep (and quite a bit cheaper than brand new high end electric vehicles and hybrids). So, not completely out of the question
To "xerox" is or was to photocopy, in the US too.

I just downloaded it.

It's not so much the GUI in the terminal. I actually think it looks pretty slick. It's what I give in exchange - accessibility permissions are a big no no. And of course, verified email for a CLI utility is pretty much unheard of.
If they would band together, why not just make a new phone? Going after jail breaking apple devices would be fruitless since apple could release a new firmware to block your OS. I wish they wouldn’t, but the market solution would be for people to stop buying apple devices.

The average fella will always want to just drink a beer with friends and badmouth the politicians, their boss, a few celebrities and some rich people. Forums like this one are just the electronic version of it.

It doesn't matter.

That said, look for Peloton having solid business reasons to do this, maybe even tax subsidies and the like. A CEO may have their best intention to help America and create jobs and so on good things. But still ultimately it has to also make business sense, because they answer to a board and the board answers to shareholders.

I'm making a generator of battlemaps for tabletop rpgs.

First version was this: https://ajuc.github.io/outdoorsBattlemapGenerator/

It has some nice features (for example exporting to virtual foundry vtt format .dd2vtt with colliders), but after a while I noticed that user interface is the biggest problem - I have a lot of knobs to play with and not enough space and user patience to explain them.

So I abandoned that and started making a new one: https://ajuc.github.io/kartograf/

This one has much less features right now (no water, stones, twigs, no constrains like "trees can't grow on each other", no export, etc), but it is built on a great graph editor library (litegraph) with nodes that you can join and combine. This should allow much better configurability once I get it to feature parity. UI is still pretty bad, I will try to encapsulate the submodules into subgraphs eventually and then I plan on adding the possibility of exporting generators as submodules which can be versioned and used by others - kinda like maven repo for generators. If I don't abandon it before that :)

Yeah, it's a truly useful resource. They showcase so many cool projects it inspired me to get into hardware hacking.
I'm a big fan of Julia. It does live up to its speed claims. I've implemented the board game Go in Python, Rust, and Julia and Julia is definitely closer to Rust in speed. Same algorithms were used for all implementations.

Julia's time to first plot still has some problems. The Plots library can build animations, but the time to first animation on my computer is like 10 minutes, and the time to second animation is another 10 minutes. Probably just a bug, I haven't found any other case that takes so long.

I've also mentioned before that a reinforcement learning algorithm I ported from Python/PyTorch to Flux was faster, not because of training times, but because of all the other stuff (and RL has more "other stuff" than supervised learning) that goes on outside the core training loop is so much faster.

US$24K per job is not too much. The upper limit for cost-effectiveness for job subsidies is maybe $30K. The main problem is making sure the benefits are not paid out until the jobs have been created.[1]

projecting 5000-50,000 years into the future and failing to see humanity's extremely likely extinction based on current trends is the arrogance.
Furthermore, any big vendor (e.g. Facebook) with its own vast audience and ecosystem would immediately launch its own app store, with its own payment model and revenue cut, its own exclusive titles, developer relationships, and (one assumes) its own vastly more liberal policy with respect to privacy-exploitative dark-pattern apps (notwithstanding that Apple's app store certainly doesn't restrict all such things). The sideloaded Facebook "app" would not simply be Facebook, but the Facebook App Store.
The question remains unanswered, whether democratic socialism is, in the long-term, compatible with avoiding totalitarianism.

You've made a huge assumption there, and characterisation, and that's exactly the problem. I and many others are not sympathetic or uncritical of the action at all. I'm just critical of not having debate about the differences between this and other actions and removing the debate.

I'd say, yes, it was a civilian airliner. It affects more people. However to do it to a private jet too shows precedent to abandon international norms.
Nobody being arrested is merely because Snowdon wasn't aboard. If he was, he'd have been arrested.
And the diversion of any plane to an airspace where the arrest of someone on board can take place by a foreign power, is ultimately what is the issue here isn't it? And there are enough obvious parallels that at least we have the discussion, not just remove the discussion forthwith.
I'm curious if people will actually decline to work for these low pay jobs.
