That's kind of a bullshit answer. I didn't say the USA is politically safe, I said the USA is politically safer than Tunisia, which come on is self evident. It's weird how you say the US has parts that are like a 3rd world country but the fact that Tunisia actually is a 3rd world country doesn't seem relevant haha.
Huggingface is close, for nlp algos. Add an abstraction layer, or plug n play integrations with web app builders and it becomes very accessible.

Colab et al allow very complex methods to be run by rank amateurs, which gives people a self learning path toward more sophisticated uses.

Cogview and dall-e and clip are revolutionary for image production, and video is close. Music transformers, synthetic voices, and other content can be thrown together to produce brand new styles of art.

Between the ever more general capabilities of large text models and increasing mastery of media synthesis, ai is on the threshold of making the world really weird, really fast. I hope the next 10 years feel like the 90s with these technologies maturing and expanding our horizons in computing and entertainment .
> At the moment, I don't support engineers unionizing in tech.

Thankfully in many European countries the unions work across industries, it doesn't matter what you do at your desk, everyone on the building gets into the union.

So what do I get?

40 hours work week, want me to do more? Pay extra or give additional vacation days in exchange.

If I am ill or you fail to find a job for me, you cannot just fire me without compensating me for it, and giving a legal reason why.

I get a proper severance package in mass firings.

Whatever you send me to my work email or phone, won't be dealt with until I get back in office, regardless how you feel about it.

Ah, consulting can also be also unionized, unless you are doing it as freelancer.

Tips just need to die (as being counted a part of a salary). It's only a thing in countries with poor worker protection so here's hoping they get more of that. The only country I have seen it used in was the US. My wife worked as a waiter in Copenhagen and they got a good pay and few tips. They tips they did get all got put in a glass and shared between every single employee equally, the only way tips should be used IMO.
I ran across this many years ago and thought it looked interesting. I hadn't heard anyone mention it since. Is this actually generally usable for people who aren't primarily Haskell developers?

I know at least two more languages where emphasis (stress) is standardized. In French and in Armenian it's always on the last syllable. With some exceptions of course, typically borrowed words, sometimes compound words.

The advantage of this is, it helps the brain separate and recognize the words faster. When we speak, the words are mostly glued together and from the point of view of speech recognition it can take some trial and error before the brain or your speech-to-text system can understand where each word ends. The standard-accented languages (I'm sure there's a term for that in linguistics?) make the job a bit easier. Anyway, just a fun fact.
In recline mode what do you use to type? I imagine you will need something additional to prop mouse and keyboard on.
I complied for a year. I wore a mask, I social distanced, I only went outside when necessary, I still wash my hands.

You can scapegoat me all you like if it makes you feel like your compliance accomplished something, you can pretend that the predictable failure of these ridiculous measures is my fault, but most of us that live out here in the world are tired of being micromanaged and brow beaten and guilt tripped and told to comply ad infinitum with measures that so far have failed to produce any tangible benefit at all. We have to live in the world as it is and that's exactly what I plan on doing, and we are going to ignore all of you irrational people scolding us.
I can fix anything, given sufficient time and budget.

I've fixed atomic clocks, magnetic amplifiers, and lots of stuff there wasn't even documentation for. If someone gave me a wrecked alien ship and enough time and materials, I'd get it working again.

I live in New Orleans where unvaccinated cases are exploding and people in surrounding areas specifically cite Democrats as a reason not to take the vaccine. I’ll stand by my words.

I'm one of those volunteer firefighters (Vacaville district). There's no way we would just walk away from a vehicle fire. If it means spraying water on it for hours, fine, then that's what we'll do. If there's no hydrant we'll have 2000-gallon water tenders lined up. On a big wildland fire it's not unusual for the pumpers to be working for hours.

You really underestimate how much firefighters love to use the equipment "for realz". I don't know anyone who doesn't dream of running into a (concrete) parking garage to put out a vehicle fire, EV or not.

Also, nobody (at least in my district) is allowed anywhere near a vehicle accident without bunker gear. If we had to rotate new pairs of firefighters in every 30m when the SCBAs run out, so be it. The department has a lot of tanks. We also have ventilation equipment on all the engines and squad units.

Also also: We're the rural team. The city departments (with their million dollar fire trucks) are even more hard core. "Make no attempt to put out EV fire" is just nonsense.

We're just stuck at a dead end as regards the hard problem of consciousness. Quantum theory appeared to have potential because of the apparent links between consciousness / observation and wave-function collapse. This may not help.

The current zeitgeist appears to be denial that consciousness exists at all. I don't think this helps either.

If I had to take a punt I'd say that we can't find a solution because it's the substrate of everything, so by definition can't be measured by us.

I'm not sure how (or why) I'd google cargo-edit, because it's one of those things that you don't even think about until someone tells you about it, and then you're happy they did.

While I certainly wouldn't call myself a Rust expert, I'm no noob either, and am intensely interested in diving deep into topics like this. (Can we also dispense with the gatekeeping put-downs like "noob", please? It's unnecessary and rude.)

I’ve read that in a lot of places over the years and even got afraid of it when my LG 4k flickered a bit one day.

But I’m sure I’ve went way past the 100k writes speculated limit with Lunar’s Smooth Transition and by testing Lunar 6 hours a day almost every day for the past 4 years.

It’s possible that this EEPROM issue might not be an issue anymore. Lunar has thousands of active users and there are zero claims of a monitor failing because of it.

It’s also possible that it’s just a problem waiting to happen and I’ll get sued to death in a few years, who knows.

Are you sure that you have the UL and not the UK? The UL is HDR400 so actually not really hdr. The only thing is that macOS doesn’t seem to realise this and with all the toggling there are four states that occur:

MacOS and monitor no HDR: “correct” colours and brightness
MacOS HDR and monitor HDR: washed out colours / very low contrast
macOS HDR and monitor No HDR: very strange picture
macOS no hdr and monitor hdr: also washed out image

Anti-Foreword By Dennis Ritchie for the Linux Hater Handbook
https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf

To the contributers to this book:
I have succumbed to the temptation you offered in your preface: I do write you off as envious malcontents and romantic keepers of memories. The systems you remember so fondly (TOPS-20, ITS, Multics, Lisp Machine, Cedar/Mesa, the Dorado) are not just out to pasture, they are fertilizing it from below.

Your judgments are not keen, they are intoxicated by metaphor. In the Preface you suffer first from heat, lice, and malnourishment, then become prisoners in a Gulag. In Chapter 1 you are in turn infected by a virus, racked by drug addiction, and addled by puffiness of the genome.
Yet your prison without coherent design continues to imprison you.

How can this be, if it has no strong places? The rational prisoner exploits the weak places, creates order from chaos: instead, collectives like the FSF vindicate their jailers by building cells almost compatible with the existing ones, albeit with more features. The journalist with three undergraduate degrees from MIT, the researcher
at Microsoft, and the senior scientist at Apple might volunteer a few words about the regulations of the prisons to which they have been transferred.

Your sense of the possible is in no sense pure: sometimes you want the same thing you have, but wish you had done it yourselves; other times you want something different, but can't seem to get people to use it; sometimes one wonders why you just don't shut up and tell people to buy a PC with Windows or a Mac. No Gulag or lice, just a future whose intellectual tone and interaction style is set by Sonic the
Hedgehog. You claim to seek progress, but you succeed mainly in whining.

Here is my metaphor: your book is a pudding stuffed with apposite observations, many well-conceived. Like excrement, it contains enough undigested nuggets of nutrition to sustain life for some. But it is not a tasty pie: it reeks too much of contempt and of envy.

Bon appetit!
Ah that makes sense, it seemed familiar. Shame it's not credited on the page.
Ignore the naysayers in this thread; I don't really get why people think it's ok nitpick how you've decided to present a particular topic that you publish to the world free of charge. It's... kinda rude, IMO.

I really enjoyed reading this piece, and had never heard of cargo-edit, so thank you for that.

As a Scala person, I've actually struggled with Rust's Future, because it's quite different and requires a new mental model of how things work, which I think you did a great job providing.
I'm an entrepreneur and parent makes a valid point even though they are exaggerating.

Hardship and pressure can indeed fuel startup success - it makes a huge difference if you are running out of cash in X months and know you have to fire everything and bury what you exclusively worked on for the last X years. That captures the dark side of entrepreneurship perfectly.

I believe we can see this effect also in countries like Israel or many African countries.
This. I've studied the IPA once, and now it's way easier to learn new words in languages I don't know. It kinda gets messy when representing strange sounds full of diacritics though, but I guess there's no good way around that.

This may be slightly off topic, but it really resonated with me how you expanded on the definition of grief. I think a lot of people associate it mostly or solely with death.
But grief, I think, is a very useful concept that can be very helpful in making sense of our emotions in hard moments in life.
I was told this by a therapist when I was feeling shitty after my girlfriend broke up with me, and it was quite enlightening to get this new perspective.

I think grief can be basically felt as the result of any loss. Be it loss of a loved one, breakup (loss) of a relationship, loss of your job, loss of a piece of your life.
It's never going to be over until we accept the virus is going to be with us forever and people will die that might have lived a bit longer without the virus. The lockdowns are doing more damage than slightly elevated death rates (especially in developing countries and to the young and poor).

It's time to drop this shit.

Probably both, compute file name and relative offset from the original offset. (A minor complication is requests crossing file boundaries, in which case you have to do two requests instead of one.)

Editing an existing page is usually pretty easy and conflict free. Creating a new page is close to impossible and strictly guarded.

It’s almost not worth trying for a beginner because you will almost certainly be rejected. The moderators require multiple approved sources of information for a page to be created. These pages must be reputable sources (IE not blog posts, forum posts, or other wikis), and must not have any kind of commercial link to the subject. So if you create a page about a product and you state that it has feature X, you can not use the companies own page that talks about having X as a reference.

So basically you can’t make a page about something until a major news website writes about it or you can reference it in some formal study.

I tried to create a few pages. One of them being about a file format and found that I could not use the companies website with the PDF describing the spec as a reference for the format because there is a commercial link between the file format and the source linked.

Even then, printf and scanf are typically faster (and not even by a little bit, by a lot) than C++ iostreams formatted output, even though iostreams gets all the formatting information at compile-time, while printf has to parse the format string.

On the other hand, if people start to use snprintf in that particular form as a safe way of string copying, compilers could pattern-match this and substitute a direct implementation.

So let's say you work for Mozilla and you are gay, or your sibling is gay, or your best friend is gay, or hell: you just are willing to care about people who aren't that close to you and you know that some people somewhere are assuredly gay; and so now, you have to come in to the office every day to work under a guy who, sure, has made an invaluable contribution to the web... but also actively dislikes gay people and wants to make their lives harder, donating to a political cause that deeply affects gay people. Remember: that's what is at stake here... Mozilla is a tech company, and Brandon Eich was their CTO, acting as the public face of the company and as a leader internally; asking them to continue to support him is not some academic question of whether to leave his name on a plaque somewhere... it is a very practical daily question of them having to read e-mails and take direction from someone who actively--and fairly directly... prop 8 wasn't some extremely indirect mechanism or one with a ton of tradeoffs--works to undermine the lives of either themselves or someone they care about.

>that's the sunken cost fallacy

It's so much deeper than just sunk cost. The business represents your pride, your purpose and your identity.

A closer analogy would be a pet owner who spends thousands of dollars on surgery for a dying dog, just so it can live on in pain, rather than accepting the loss and putting it down.
The end of XUL was necessary to make Firefox faster. Doenload an old XUL Firefox version and surf the web. If you don't notice a difference in page load speed, startup time, and overall responsiveness, you might have a very, very fast computer, which most people around the world don't have.

The 3 or 4 thousand power users that needed native interop were (and still are) of no interest compared to the then bad performance of Firefox in relation to Chrome. Even HN was full of people who complained about Firefox' performance. Now it's full of people who recommend to give Firefox another shot because it's fast again.

Firefox is also currently the only browser where uBlock Origin can use all of its features, Chrome is intentionally limiting APIs. Are people using Firefox because of it? No. So XUL add-ons would not have helped Firefox.

If you still want XUL, there are many forks out there that claim to support it.
Live in Malaysia too and am always astounded how much power people use here, they seem very wasteful with aircon.

Generally average about 250kwh per month for 2 people in a 1200 sqf apartment with occasional aircon use. Paying ~6c/kwh is much better than nearly everywhere else on Earth. As a westerner in the country it's basically a rounding error compared to other life costs.

With government bonuses that get thrown around the cost really isn't much unless you are incredibly wasteful or have a huge family/house. Most of the country has gotten big power handouts for covid. I paid 30 RM ($7.50 USD) a few months ago. A pint down the pub costs nearly that.
Arbitrarily removing access to about:config (in Android) must account for a loss or two. I personally perceive it as a flagrant expression of contempt for their users. I keep Nightly around, but fully reciprocate perceived contempt and hope such losses grow.
This is entirely static, so I think it's easier.

>Three rendering engines is more than enough. It is the lack of diversity in browsers that is problematic.

No, it is the lack of diversity in rendering engine that is problematic. When one rendering engine can dictate the web then it makes no sense to point to the rest of the browser as the point of need for more diversity. Chromium and every browser that uses it is part of the problem here. Using Brave for example is just as bad for diversity and the free web as using Chrome itself, likely worse as most users have no idea they are part of a problem even if they are aware it exists.
Not in their interests to do so.

Following up on this, if you go to a restaurant in China and order "meat", you'll get pork. That's what "meat" means; any other type of meat will be specified as "chicken meat", "cow meat", "bullfrog", or etc.

But that's not evidence that chicken isn't considered "meat". It is.
