Running various callbacks or whatever is still overthinking the problem, similar to throwing exceptions. There's still a preconceived notion that anybody would want to (or could) handle a certain state right then and there.

In general, some responsible code does something about the state that is created by the library. But also, in general it isn't the code that issued the request, nor should happen right when the library detects the error.

In theory, such callbacks are at least as powerful as only storing the state so the client can inspect it later - because a trivial callback is free to only store the state so the client can inspect it later. However, in practice, callbacks lead to overly complex code (beyond some trivial lambdas), and having to provide a callback encourages bad program structure - creating a temporal coupling between the occurence of some event and the handling of it

> fees for remitance make up for a large portion of the el salvadors GDP

Average remittance costs for El Salvador are between 1.67% and 4.33%, with the average being 2.85% [1]. Meanwhile, the two Bitcoin ATMs in the country charged a 5% fee.

True, the brick was an exaggeration. I thought about the "applications bundling SSL libraries", but especially on a phone, I expect enough things to break to result in a user experience that most would not be willing to accept.
Just out of curiosity (I don’t mean this to be a dig and don’t carry either cards), why are Maxwell’s Equations good but Ohm’s Law is an instant no-hire? How I remember the story is that, when Ohm published his equation, it came as a huge shock because no one was expecting it to be so simple. There’s a lot of beauty in that simplicity. Maxwell’s equations aren’t that complex but they aren’t exactly _linear_. Valuing complexity is an interesting hiring tactic but would probably be a great filter on younger engineers?
Seems so, looking at network traffic,

> a cheap computer that will introduce children to programming, like in the '80s

The closest equivalent since the mid '90s is the TI graphing calculator. Just turn it on and there's one button to access the programming environment built right in.

There's really no other device or environment like that, where you can just jump right into the programming, without having to first learn your way through a dozen layers of abstraction in navigating an OS and file system and software installations and all that.

They probably used concatenative audio rendering since the digits are tractable to get the actor to record. (Probably just on the borderline in terms of effort for now.) But can you imagine when they are able to use real time text to speech with high fidelity?

We're not far from emotive TTS + photo realistic rendering in a real time engine, potentially with neurally generated models to match real time events or camera input.

Matrix 5 will be this, but you'll be in the trailer, and it'll reference real world events. And that's just the start.

The future of audio and video is going to be crazy.
You should drop any software that prevents you from changing another unrelated software. In other words, move from LastPass to Bitwarden.
Not necessarily. That would only be true if storing and/or transporting energy was cheap or easy.
That's intentional, for embedding and for firing up sub interpreters in separate threads.

Don't know, both use computed goto so dispatch shouldn't be the problem. But Python is VERY well optimized by now and aLisp is a few weeks old.

I did implement the whole thing on top of a single data structure, an embedded double linked list, which is somewhat unusual I guess. But most of the nodes are slab allocated by type so data locality shouldn't be it either.

aLisp is definitely more static than Python, which barely has any structure at all; I'm hoping that will lead to more opportunities for optimization down the line.
> But the claims of systematic racism or sexism when you don’t have matching representation everywhere can only be opposed if you get into this ugly discussion.

I agree. This is a major counterargument to this notion that this type of knowledge is not useful. Not even mentioning that it is freaking interesting and it will always spark curiosity in a lot of people.
there was 1 really good one that actually used characters instead of images (and those were all so terrible looking) that I've been searching for years (literally since 2005) - some motivated young child of Zion should use that notcurses lib posted yesterday and make a super high fidelity version.

In principle, I support private property rights and freedom of association. However, I find the platforms' censorship abhorrent and the premises of fact check absurd.

It isn't hard to see how with a little pragmatism on the part of gatekeepers, this kerfuffle could have been avoided. Regulatory capture is waiting in the wings, but politicians who are hostile towards the prevailing big tech agenda won't be angling for that outcome.

It leaves me with the question, did gatekeepers miscalculate?

Gatekeepers are being challenged not only in the regulatory space, but also disrupted by innovators.

If they did miscalculate, it wouldn't be unreasonable to suppose the risks may have been known. Ultimately, which political goals could be manifested by hamfisted censorship and worth risking shareholder value for?
people on reddit have noticed that different clips are played each time you view either pill. ive clicked the pills maybe 20 times so far and theres at least one new clip each time. it looks like they pre-rendered for each time and spread out a ton of clips across all those times. so the computers that are serving this just have a ton of videos and change which ones they are giving out once per minute, compensating for time-zones. pretty simple. but a great result. i feel like this is the most compelling advertising ive seen in my adult life.

i think its interesting that they chose the pre-rendered approach to this. pre-rendered and FMV is a very interesting space right now. there seems to be a revival stirring. take for example "at dead of night." its a horror game thats pre-rendered and uses FMV and does it perfectly to stunning effect. people liked it, markipliers lets play got something like 7M views IIRC. and the previous game by that same person was a full FMV murder mystery game and it is very compelling indeed. nobody has seen these concepts fleshed out in the modern world where storage is dirt cheap and video games are taken seriously. new life is going to be breathed into these concepts and i think it will be very exciting.
I think the trouble other folks are having with your prior comment was that there has never been an "Unhindered capitalism" anywhere on Earth within the last several hundred years. Religious, societal, political, etc., factors beyond, and in addition to capitalism, have always held significant sway in any society that has been realized so far.
This is interesting and fun to use. I am not sure it would become part of my daily work flow because it is another browser and I am fairly attached to my current browser workflow.

Is it out of the question for a lot of these feature to exist as a plugin to an existing browser? Bonsai could then be integrated to use my search engines prefs, my ad blockers, etc.

Keep up the good work! It is great to see people pushing UI concepts.
El Salvador was the site of Ronald Regan's financing of death squads in the 1980s. The cost of preventing these crimes and terrorism pales in comparison to the official terrorism that was perpetrated on that country.

I'm not sure if there's a direct tie to Iran-Contra, but in Nicaragua Regan directly contravened a congressional funding ban and used Iranian and CIA drug money to fund the death squads there. Similar funding sources were probably at play in El Salvador.
This is open data/metadata about art, not an attempt to digitize artworks. Also, the descriptions make it pretty clear that several of these institutions have made tens of thousands of digital images of artworks available.

It's not just movies. There has been some interesting writing (none of which I've been able to find with google) about the ways in so many different aspects of western culture (and maybe more) have really gotten stuck for at least 30 years. Hair, fashion, cars, music, food, film, writing and more.

IDK. On my OpenBSD system the awk man page is under 500 lines, and it pretty much covers the subject.

I've tried to get started in Perl a few times, and just found it weird. It doesn't click. Awk is kind of weird too but it's so simple it doesn't matter.

I'm sure I would eventually get Perl if I had to use it. But for me, awk and sed and shell scripting have covered my needs.
Usually you can get the cost ratio of services jobs to other jobs to adjust by increasing the lowest wage, i.e. minimum wage.

But… yes. I would like for non-service income (like mine) to be able to buy less services. I grew up poor and made it to the top quintile, and yes, I would like for the gap between where I came from and where I got to slim down more. It would be great if more pressure could hit the top 1%, but if to get there I’m paying, I’m ok with that.

That doesn't make much sense though, given that many of the tech YouTubers (LinusTechTips, JayzTwoCents, to name a few) have done hardware giveaways fairly regularly. "We're giving away RTX 3080s and 3090s to verifiable gamers" is the recent trend. LTT is in Vancouver, but JayzTwoCents is in Southern California somewhere, and therefore, the United States.
Is it? Have you seen

[1] https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Kybernetiq+magazine ?

AFAIK it covers anything from rooting your smartphone, installing alternative OS/'ROM', ungoogling, alternative appstores, sideloading, safe messaging, using Linux the same way, and so on.

edit: I should say the discovery shocked me a bit at the time.
Because before that I talked on IRC with ppl I just knew electronically, but not in person about how Cybernetics have
almost been forgotten, that it is now covered by systems (of systems) science, complexity sciences, but that Cybernetics are the root of this. And pointed them to the available literature. And a few months later I saw the headlines about this magazine. Furthermore some ppl seemed to come from Belgium, at least they talked about local things. Maybe they have 'franchised' it a little bit because of that.

Anyways, now I rarely use IRC anymore at all. The fuckers should be drowned in pig shit!
For what it's worth, if you only go through the implementation of the tree-walk interpreter in Java, that's 234 pages.

The next 370-ish pages are the C re-implementation as a bytecode interpreted language. So that adds a bunch more stuff to cover: actually compiling, bytecode interpretation, garbage collection, etc.

Also, a huge chunk of it is code listings. Unlike other comparable books I've seen, Nystrom's doesn't skimp on the details, or make you go download the code from GitHub. Compared to how other books I've seen tend to do it, I'd argue that that's several hundred pages' worth of making the book quicker to read.
> This software is working as intended. Its supposed to be a screen. Its doing that well.

Perhaps - in the same way that a foot surgeon that amputates everything below the neck is doing that job well.
>Is AlgoDex not working?

According to their site[0] no, but now they do have a testnet demo. Looking at the demo it's Order Book, not AMM which further makes me think that AMMs are still impossible there while Order Book-style can always be done with some centralization. The docs are sadly one tiny page that has no technical details so I won't dig further.

>What would be the purpose of rushing out tools and smart contracts that need to be verified and routinely cause irreparable damage due to security and bugs?

But they did publish smart contracts. More than a year ago. They also hyped them up, and hyped up a DEX which was supposed to come last October. Some random PR articles from 2020[1,2,3]. This clearly failed quietly despite supposedly smart contracts already being functional then.

>There are already two HN startups using Algorand: 1) Lofty.AI, which has been a smash hit for tokenizing real estate and making daily income and 2) Algofi, which is S21 and intended for lending.

Cool, if I see them working how I see similar dapps working on so many other chains maybe I'll change my mind.

>Devs are flocking to Algorand for how easy it is to use the wallet and create unique tokens on a fast and scalable network.

Are they? I see devs that try and fail to build there, and less devs discussing it than other chains. I see a lot of PR. That's it. Maybe it has a future but it seems much further behind, despite claiming it was already there in respect to smart contract last year. At this point if they catch up I'll give it another look but for now their PR seems to just make claims that don't reflect reality.

> The problems of shared library version inconsistency have gone. No noticeable downsides.

Sure, as long as you commit to releasing an updated version if a vulnerability is ever found in your version of rustls.

Edit: oh, and in such a case you should probably release your own CVE too, else not everyone will get the nudge to update.
We have enough successful regenerative farms now to prove that it is an effective way to produce food without destroying the environment. Human understanding of what is happening biologically in the soil has rapidly expanded in the last 20 years.

We do not need to fertilize. It takes about 3 years for yields of a farm converted from traditional to regenerative to meet pre-conversion yields. The quantity of land used doesn't change. It is just managed a different way.

Aside: organic and regenerative are not at all the same
> Your math is rather suspect; 1 in 5000 daily chance means that if someone is at risk for a breakthrough infection for 10 days that's a 1 in 500 chance, not your 1 in 7.

I couldn't understand your comment or your math. The point OP is trying to convey is that 1/5000 is not a reassuring number even though the title makes it sound like one. That is, the title is deliberately misleading. (And you are a prime example of someone being mislead) That's because a 1/5000 daily chance implies a 1/7 chance over the course of 2 years which is actually pretty effing huge.
I just bought a 12 mini and I'm thrilled! It has almost the exact same screen real estate my 7plus did, but fits nicely into my pants pocket.
Which is the problem. Food stamps are seen as a moral failing, and the richer you get the easier dodging taxes becomes. I’d rather money flow more directly into pockets (higher wages) than indirectly (food stamps, Medicaid) so the market can be more efficient.

Have you tried KDE? It has tiling shortcuts (not enabled by default) and an always-on-top feature for windows.

Also, I once set up KDE 4 to put different apps into tabs of a single window. I'm not sure if KDE 5 can still do that, but it sounds like something that you would be interested in.
I'd bet all the marbles that they're "JIT" rendering the full video upon request. Intro + hour chunk (12 options) + minute chunk (59 options, skipped if minute is 0?) + am-pm chunk (2 options) + Outro. If you open the page in two different browsers at the same time and chose the same pill color, the resulting video file URL is different; this suggests to me that they're not caching the compilation results for the next client.
Yes, that is a factor. Other factors include abandoned coal fire plants being restarted for mining.

The question is not if there is a factor that is positive, but whether the positives outweigh the negatives. Every source I have seen is confident they do not.
If there isn't statistical significance there isn't statistical significance. It does not matter what caused the lack of it. Without statistical significance there is "no evidence".
Why Does Coffee Sometimes Make Me Tired?
Is it though? According to the article: "The company will reportedly produce at least 70 percent fewer units than it initially planned". Why else would they make a cut that large?
What are plausible alternatives? The only one I can think of is prioritizing higher margin units due to supply chain problems.
You’re agreeing with me. You wouldn’t want to hold onto Bitcoin because it’s the inferior currency option.
Some of these people will end up bitten by a brown recluse, have a heart attack and then die in a car crash on the way to the hospital. For a really large population, a tiny but not zero number of people will undergo all sorts of crazy scenarios.

That's why we should be placing numbers in context. How many people get objective 'long covid', by which I mean objectivly measurable decreased lung capacity or blood oxygenation levels, compared to how many people get long flu, flu + pneumonia or all sorts of other shitty but rare afflictions?

I'm not dismissing the possibility that 'long covid' is a thing, I'm decrying the lack of actual data and the reliance on media propagated rumors. Just within last month Delta was supposed to be a calamity, 'the hospitals are overflowing (with Ivermectin overdoses no less)', 'children are dropping like flies', etc. I'm not hearing that lately, nor have I seen any numbers to support that level of damage.
So, I should read 25 books to verify that your one sentence claim is valid?

Why not back that up with some relevant quotes to support your thesis, friend? That seems a decent thing to do compared to the litany of homework you callously threw at me.
>They often don't even order pilots (previously unheard of), they're so confident in their statistics.

And a lot of their Netflix-branded shows are quite mediocre. I'd say they're not so much confident of their statistics about each individual show as they are about being able to promote their shows and get them viewed anyhow.

And on the average, it works out for them without the messy bits in the middle with ordering a pilot and having to somehow assess the quality of that pilot in regards to a full show.
And yet it still costs far less energy to mine Bitcoin than it does to sustain Petrodollars.
Nice that the instruction to exit is in the step-by-step.
> Energy use is not energy source

I’ll go a step further - Bitcoin’s energy use is centralized around the cheapest sources due to economic forces. If renewables are cheaper at scale than fossil fuels, Bitcoin’s energy use could in fact become a net positive for the world.

To put it another way, the profitability of mining is directly proportional to the cost of electricity compared to the global average. This should drive the development of less expensive forms of energy over time. Even if fossil fuels are cheapest today (and I’m not certain that’s true), there is an ongoing cost floor due to it relying upon extraction, processing, transportation, and burning. Solar, for example, has a higher capital cost but presumably a lower ongoing $/kWh.

Finally, ~5% (2.2-13.3%) of electricity generated in the US is lost due to transmission from the point of generation to the point of consumption. India loses 20-30%. [0] Bitcoin mining, given its high power consumption, should specifically drive decentralized power generation. This in turn could help make such technology available for other uses, resulting in a less centralized, more robust power grid.

So, to sum up, the criticisms are mostly about "Elon Time" and not about whether Tesla is actually trying to do things. Hyperloop is not something Tesla is trying to do, and Elon is only cheerleading that effort.

There's something highly off-kilter with the relative mildness of the above and the vitriol of the criticism directed at it. This actually makes me feel really good about Elon Musk and Tesla's prospects!
