It's not! Gnuplot in the terminal open many new use cases, such as examining data on remote hosts with scripts without even bothering to scp the data first.

Also, Notebooks in the terminal is wonderful!

Check https://github.com/koppa/matplotlib-sixel

As for kitty format, adding support in sixel-tmux is planned, but you are welcome to write a patch if you want it sooner!

Imagine sixel-tmux as some middleware, because it is totally possible to intercept sixel sequences and rewrite them on the fly into something more palatable to kitty or iTerm.

This way, even if gnuplot doesn't support kitty, you could still view the results. If it's done well enough, you may not even perceive the difference!

That's the direction I want to follow, so that users can take any software and play with it on their terminal regardless of the underlying format.

> Bubble sort is the comparison of every pair.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but it seems like you're saying that bubble sort has every pair compared with every other pair, and that's not the case. A defining feature of Bubble Sort is that it only ever compares adjacent elements.

The sort presented here is definitely not Bubble Sort.

That's interesting, are there different types of Maestro cards? I also had one years ago, but it didn't have CVV so I could not pay online. My current one does not even have a real card number, it has just my bank account number on it.
I agree it was very heavy handed, but I suspect there was more at play (not the first mistake, and some regulatory reporting that may have looked bad for higher ups)
Any of the traits listed is overrated on its own.

You want to have a good enough mix but I would say, scoring high on any 3 of those should give nice results.

People boast about need to be hard working, having grit or how easy everything comes for attractive people.

Then there is a lot of people who focus on their strengths too much. Like if one is attractive already focusing on improving that will not bring much more to his life. Improving on hard working while being attractive that is going to bring some serious results. Improving on social skills while being hard working the same.

Just mix up some third trait and see how much one can achieve.

Of course one cannot work on "being at the right time at the right place" directly - but other traits if worked on can bring opportunities so like having better social skills can open some doors or make new friends that will have different connections.

I would even say that having 2 of those traits high can bring "being in the right time at the right place" into reality.

OK, but it's also completely legitimate to just say, "I already know Python so now I just want to focus on building better and better things each year, not getting better at tech." And yet that won't make you employable, even though it's probably the ideal strategy as an entrepreneur and product creator.

Hard forks rarely get traction and are almost always lost in obscurity, unless the original project itself is abandoned. tmux isn't abandoned so I doubt this fork will end up being used by more than a handful of people.

EDIT: Yup, as suspected, the author doesn't intend to keep his fork updated with upstream and I don't blame him for that. This essentially makes this fork a proof of concept, nothing more. Unless it gets merged in tmux itself, people might as well forget that this fork exists.

It's a little confusing, but playing around with it I was able to understand it.

First of all, there's a Start button at the bottom of the right menu. Hit that and you will see that big color gradient sort itself.

However, that massive square is useless for seeing what's going on. So instead change the size to its lowest (8) and the delay to something like 400.

Now what you've got is 8 randomly-sorted columns. When you hit Start that algorithm will start sorting them each in parallel. You can just look at a single column and see the colors getting swapped. The darkest color moves to the top very quickly. This is a feature of how this particular algorithm works.

What's the point of the big square? Well, for one thing it's an interesting way to compare algorithms. Go back to the settings for a large number, a very low delay, and check off two other sorting algorithms, say Comb Sort and Heap sort. Hit Start and you'll see three very different approaches to sorting the columns.
the entire point of these assistant technologies is supposed to be that they seamlessly integrate with the environment. If you have to do long button presses or avoid this or that you can just open Spotify yourself and click play. Given that the benefit you get out of this stuff is likely marginal to begin with failing in 5% of cases is already way too much.

At this point to me it seems like most of it is basically toy technology without any real benefit unless you're visually impaired or unable to use your hands or something. People went from voice messaging to texting with other people because tactile inputs are often faster, so it's always puzzled me what the point is of talking to machines who can't even understand things properly half the time.

CloudFront cache problems and how to solve them
It resonates with me as well. What a horrifying article! A phone call at 3 in the morning, waking you up from well-deserved sleep as if they had the right. If you manage to ignore this disrespect and pick up the phone -- what if some family member has suffered an accident, right? -- you find it's a god damn advertiser selling you insurance! It's enough to drive a peaceful person to violence.

My parents also used to tell me to answer the phone. Why? These goddamn calls had nothing to do with me. Everyone my age used instant messengers. Even as a kid, the phone pissed me off so much I started physically disconnecting it. Peace! Until my father got home, at least. Disconnecting the phone was the quickest way to piss him off. What if some family member has an emergency? What if X? What if Y? Who fucking cares? It got to the point I didn't fucking care anymore. I'm not suffering this just because there's a chance people will call us instead of emergency services. I'd rather piss my dad off than suffer the indignity of phone calls.

Leaving the phone connected was an act of cruelty towards my mother. She's too educated and polite to simply hang up on these abusers. So many times I witnessed these assholes drive her screaming mad with their lies. They'd threaten to sue her over a late payment on a magazine subscription she never had. I tried so many times to get her to just hang up the phone on these fucks! Just hang up! She would never! So I fixed it by making it so she wouldn't have to answer the phone ever again. She could finally sleep in peace!

I don't agree when he compares phone calls to email spam. Spam is just text, they never leave the virtual world. They're the noise polluting the signal, nothing more. Phone calls are like giving people the ability to trigger a goddamn fire alarm remotely, as he himself said. Now that is a great analogy! It perfectly captures that feeling that compels you to stop everything and answer to the fake emergency that is the phone call.

I also feel the same way about businesses. Having to call some business in order to get something done makes me physically ill. I'd always get other people to do it. I'd ask my girlfriend to do it for me because there's just no way I'm calling some company. The only thing worse is when they call me. I'm so happy nearly every business in my country has a WhatsApp contact now. I don't have to use the phone ever again for anything! If a business doesn't have a WhatsApp, they just aren't getting my money, ever. Even the goddamn ISPs have apps now that let you schedule repairs and whatnot. Trying to call these fucking companies to cancel or switch providers used to be so incredibly obnoxious people made laws regulating this. Phones are also the reason why there's so little competition between ISPs in my country. There is, or at least there used to be, a law saying if you're an ISP you need to provide public phones for people. A massive barrier to entry and completely useless!

Killing the telephone is a big market? Yes, please. Where do I deposit money in order to speed it along? I want telephones to be literally wiped from this Earth. Not a single phone left anywhere.
I would have a bit of a hard time to recommend some citations without narrowing the interest a bit. There are quite a lot of great papers. Kind of the granddaddy of modern curiosity research is:

Loewenstein, G. (1994). The psychology of curiosity: A review and reinterpretation. Psychological Bulletin, 116(1), 75–98. https://doi.org/10.1037/0033-2909.116.1.75

I am really sorry. I do not know if there is an open access version of this paper.

If you start from there and then find work that cites that, you will be able to find most modern curiosity research, I would wager. Not everyone agrees with what followed from this, but pretty much everyone has to contend with it in one way or another. I would claim that there is not really a consensus, but "knowledge gap" (or "information gap") and "uncertainty" are probably the most prominent and influential keywords.

Okay, I did a bit more digging in my file system and found a reasonably recent overview by two fairly prominent researchers that might serve as a decent starting point. While I don't agree with everything here, that hardly matters of course. It's a place to start.

I think it is open access. It is for me in firefox with no javascript enabled, anyway.

Like you said, this is not a uniquely Christian Church problem. Likely we are looking this from the wrong angle: it's not the institution that is the primary issue, it's the population of would be abusers that are seeking roles that give them access to children.

I don't have a ton of experience using Siri, but it seems like it might have issues with time in general. I got an email just yesterday with an invite to a Zoom meeting attached, and I was about to just import the ics file into my Apple Calendar but then I noticed the email had a line saying Siri had detected an event and could do it automatically, which it did, but the listing was 5 hours early and scared my wife when she saw it because she thought I had scheduled something for the middle of the day when she was at work.

I have a lot of trouble understanding how plain text in the email saying 6:00 PM Central Time could have been interpreted as anything other than 6 PM Central Time.

It was also annoying that you apparently can't edit a calendar entry. I had to go to DuckDuckGo to search for how to change the time and you need to click and drag the box containing the event. There is no UI to just type in a time. I guess they did this to be able to deploy an identical app on Mac OS and iOS? Neutering desktop applications so they work better on mobile is an increasingly annoying trend.
I kind of doubt it. JPEG is good enough, and is pervasive. JPEG XL is better, but removing an incumbent file format requires more than just being better. We'll see.

> Out of the two signals, "this person was successful at 8 different companies" versus "this person stuck in one place for almost three decades", which do you imagine is going to get hired?

Why is the assumption not the opposite?

"This person failed at 8 companies" vs "This person was success at one for almost three decades"?

Why is it a sign of success if you are at a company for a short stay before going to the next? If anything, I'd imagine that a short stay would be more likely related to getting PIPd or unable to get promoted/grow there.

“What we really want to do is just talk to our device,”

If we could "just talk to our device", I'd be able to ask it to change her name to whatever I want.

But, yeah no. I don't _want_ to really "just talk to my device". Years ago, simple things just worked (i'm on android)... I could just say "e.t.a." to google maps and it would say the eta to my destination. Now it just gets confused or starts talking about the wiki page or some such nonsense.
Each country has a different idea of what matters for tax purposes. The IRS doesn’t necessarily have all the information that would be relevant to calculate taxes for most people (you have to include that information when you file, so they are in a position to check). They know your income and could probably figure out other wage-earners in the household based on their addresses. They don’t necessarily know all the people you provided more than 50% of their support for the year, or how much you paid on interest for mortgage payments (assuming you pay a mortgage), or how much you spent on deductible medical expenses, or deductible business expenses, or whether a child was born (presumably you’re paying 50+% of the baby’s expenses) and which month that happened, or whether somebody moved out and you no longer pay 50+% of their support, etc.

The IRS does a terrible job with the information it does have. One year, I had a typo in my daughter’s social security number. The IRS sent me a note that her number didn’t match the previous year’s return. I assume that they believed the previous year’s number was right, but instead of saying “we’ve amended the return by using the social security number that appeared on last year’s return,” they said “we’ve amended the return by removing that dependent and recalculating taxes; if you disagree with your higher bill, you’ll need to send us the following paperwork with the correct social security number” (of course, “correct” meant “the number we already have on file” more or less, but I had to figure out what that number was by looking at my own copy of the previous year’s return). Luckily, the previous year’s number was correct; otherwise I would have had to amend the previous return and then refile the current year’s.
