The context of the thread here wasn't about people with different visual abilities or anything complaining about the fact they're being left behind by Twitter's UX team, it was literally someone asking "Why do you think this is unreadable", some whining that "The text only uses a quarter of the screen", which was responded to with "A century of readability research has shown that's pretty good idea, actually!", which is a literal fact. This is very easy to understand and it isn't remotely computer-centric -- imagine a book where the "margins" didn't exist in any form and words just filled the page from edge to edge. It's not some random thing these basic margin rules also came to computers, and it's not some UX fad; you only need to ask what the difference is between a 1998 CRT and a 2021 4k screen to see why.

Like, you're talking about "what's right for them" as if that's supposed to pull my heartstrings, but the grandparent even literally said "I am going to re-phrase your question negatively", it's not like they're going to magically be convinced or actually argue about any readability metrics in any kind good faith, it's literally just a reflex. I wouldn't waste my time defending it on some egalitarian principles or whatever.

It depends on person. We are (de)motivated by different things.

I was growing up in a neighborhood where most part of people above 14 were using something. Most adults were using something heavy and awful, like heroin or desomorphine or whatever. I grew up watching them every day, and I grew up with insane fear of what chemicals do to human body and brain.

I am 35 today, I have never in my life tried anything, even a cigarette. For me fear works perfectly as a reason to stay away from drugs.

But to be fair, it is self-induced fear, from life lessons and not from school lessons.

Yes, GP is a really disingenuous comment. What if it was a parent needing to take the child to the doctor at 11am on a Tuesday? Or they had taken vacation? Other than that, if hours are flexible and the team member communicated that they would be unavailable from 11am to 2pm and will make it up, then it is their right to do what they want with their time.
And here's the other side of it: you were ruining the commute for everyone causally tied to their workplace (from baristas to doctors) by adding undue stress to transport infrastructure. Then there's the impact on the environment.

Dropping your commute isn't an entirely selfish idea.
I believe so. A memcpy needs to touch large blocks of memory, far more than would fit in a cache, so most memcpy implementation use non-temporal stores to indicate that the memory is not going to be used again. They write directly to main memory, avoiding using up valuable cache space with a cache line that is written to once and never used again. However, this program can operate entirely within L2, so it can go faster.

Plover was great when in university and taking lecture classes. Let me keep up with lecturers and gave me a fun activity (learning steno) to keep me awake during boring lectures. Utterly useless for note taking as transcripts are really not great to study from, but what I'd do is come back at the end of the week and re-read all of my transcripts to create little study guides. Ended up working really well. Main downside is I didn't have the money to buy a chorded keyboard and steno on a normal laptop is really hard.

Also sometimes there is a situation where several people are involved and then it's necessary to forward the arguments back and forth.

I think the idea is that you take a list of all domains and then count the number of DNS lookups that are done for each over the course of some time period (e.g. 1 year). Then sort them from high to low number of lookups. At the start of the list you'll probably find only a few domains with many billions of lookups. As you go down the list you'll find many domains with very few lookups, the "long tail".

It's a bit confusing because normally "long tail" refers to a histogram or probability distribution where a large portion of the population is far from the central part. I don't think that works in this case, unless I'm confused about what to put on the x-axis. (Because if the x-axis is lookup frequency, the domains being referred to here would be in a peak close to 0, not in the tail.)

edit: maybe the x-axis of a histogram could be "mean time between lookups" instead of frequency? That would put the popular domains in the peak near 0, and the unpopular ones farther out in the "tail".

I would suggest you look at more of Escardo's writing and research on related topics. https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mhe/papers/omniscient-journal-rev... is one such paper. The issues of compactness of cantor space in classical and constructive math and the computational interpretation of principles like Brouwer's fan theorem in relation to dependent choice and weak König's lemma is really deep.

So in your previous comment, you lied:

> Not to worry about Chevron, because they did not give a single cent of the 9.5B$ to the Ecuador government, or indigenous communities who got toxic waste dumped in their drinking water, or Ecuadorians who discovered oil pools on their property. 30'000 people are represented in that case, with 1000 separate complaints.

Then LurkingPenguin corrected your misinformation:

> Chevron was in Ecuador through a subsidiary that had a partnership with Ecuador's state-owned oil company, which owned the majority (62.5%) of the partnership. Chevron's subsidiary completed environmental remediation required by the Ecuadorian government and signed a settlement agreement with the government in 1995 releasing it from all environmental claims.

Then you replied without admitting your false statement, and his comment remains downvoted.

This whole discussion is a prime example of how unfair and biased most people are. It's a wonder any semblance of justice is ever done in this world.

So apparently it depends very much on the ISP. Some are doing a better job than others.

Great point! I think I briefly mentioned it in my post, but I think that maybe there's three separate categories that I'm talking about.

- Real-time communication in person (face-to-face)

- Real-time communication remotely

- Asynchronous communication remotely

The scenario you mention "gets asked something but doesn't reply until at least two others pester him via phone repeatedly” seems to be in the category "Real-time communication remotely" (phone is real time, but remote). I think that area is problematic too, as my post points out.

Overall, I guess my experience has been that asynchronous communication remotely and real-time communication in person are both better than real-time communication remotely (aka "endless Zoom calls"). Real-time in person seems to have more feedback loops where someone who is badly behaved faces social consequences (e.g. not invited to lunch, etc.); and asynchronous remote seems to prevent it a little by giving everyone an equal amount of space to express their thoughts.

But overall, yep, I think all of these are assuming less-than-ideal coworkers. But...that's reality, isn't it? With perfectly behaved coworkers, all three options can work perfectly.
Yeah sometimes you do need to touch things that you can't bring home.

But there are people like me, people who do touch hardware.. at home. My desk is full of hardware. Behind me there's another desk with an oscilloscope, lab psu, dmm, electric load, a pile of probes, a soldering station..

It's not like we get new hardware every day, and when we do, it's not a big deal to wait a day or two for the courier to bring a prototype to my home.
Is there some study about brain sizes of kindergarten and free-range kids?
Yes, send more data to big companies like cloud front and google. They need it.
To have a headset that doesn't make people sick, 60hz is nowhere near a high enough refresh rate. For something with "reality" in the name 1080p isn't a high enough resolution. The displays are too close to the eye and it's easy to make out individual pixels and more importantly the gaps between them [0]. High pixel density displays are a must.

A 480p game on the Wii is still a playable game. An art style that leans into the low resolution will also look fine. While it might not have looked as good as a PS3 it's still playable.

A VR headset with imprecise orientation sensors and a slow refresh rate will make you sick. Your visual input won't match what your proprioception says about your body's positioning. Even if you manage not to get sick such a system isn't usable for non-trivial durations. A low end VR system is not worth any amount of money because it's not practically usable.

Thanks for the tips, although I did know those. Instancing/array is just one functionality. What if I'd like to throw on a lattice to tweak one instance to fit somewhere better? What if I'd like to use the curve modifier?

The point is, the fact that you can do instancing through the workarounds means that there isn't a technical barrier to doing any of this. You say that it would introduce footguns to the UX, but I consider the workarounds to be footguns.
According to whom? This comment[0] says the opposite:

> Chevron was in Ecuador through a subsidiary that had a partnership with Ecuador's state-owned oil company, which owned the majority (62.5%) of the partnership. Chevron's subsidiary completed environmental remediation required by the Ecuadorian government and signed a settlement agreement with the government in 1995 releasing it from all environmental claims.

Seems like hardly anyone here cares about finding out what the truth is. They just want to collectively rage at the oil industry.

I'm grateful for your attempt at explaining! I've read it twice, and I'll read it again.

Your explanation relies on calculus; at school, I grokked differentiation, but I got a huge mental block on integration. My maths teacher was very good, he wrote famous maths textbooks, but he had no insight into my difficulties. He couldn't teach me, because he was too clever. That's why I never tackled graduate-level maths. I resent that old maths teacher; he meant well, but being super-clever wasn't his job. His job was to teach me.
Why would you think in sets of ten, when there should actually just be one pattern in 15? Then it just becomes a challenge to arrange your code to work on these blocks of 15.

We could probably code 16 versions of the block of 15 code that repeat and are nicely aligned for SIMD.
Sure...I've heard that one before.

“and justice for all”
Car hire companies are built on a renting business model, but I don't hate Avis. I don't curse every time I need to hire a skip at the evils of the skip hire company. What am I going to do, buy a skip? Start a local skip share collective? As long as the 'landlord' or owner is improving the efficient allocation or utilisation of resources there really isn't a problem.

The real issue is when owners seek benefits of ownership that are not correlated with efficiency or productivity. For example grants and subsidies, inflation of rents though monopolistic practices or opportunism. In fact all monopolistic profit inflation is renty in a way, regardless of what the business model is, because it's extracting extra profits from simply exercising control of something in excess of the economic value provided. It's exercising the power of incumbency that's the problem.

> How do you use roam?

I use it to structure projects I do for work (and in my personal life, but these days that is mostly eating good food and taking walks - no need for roam there :) ). I also have my daily task lists in there. What I like about it is cross-linking, especially with people (so I can easily see what I do for which people). When I have to pull apart an article about a new series of exploits I create cross-referenced entries about the techniques in the article, this allows me to more quickly get up to speed with other articles I read (because they often refer to the same concepts).

As time has gone on I've started to use it for more things. In the beginning I just had a few files with my tasks, which was already better than what I had before. I use org-roam and sync my org-files to all my devices and backup spaces with syncthing and rclone (with the crypt backend), which is nice because it means my todo entries come with me. For most people that is probably not such a big thing because they can just use "regular" cloud sync, which I will not use because of privacy reasons.

That is rough. I hope knowing about it earlier at least lets you take some palliative measures. Good luck.
The speed of this program is partly that it's written in assembly, but mostly because it's written by someone who is quite clever and clearly put a large amount of time into this problem. None of the other solutions spend much time trying to fit their data into the CPU cache, nor do they have to drop to using slicing for zero copies, and not one is doing anything nearly as clever as this program is to generate its numbers. All of this would be possible to mostly translate to C++ with AVX intrinsics, but real accelerator here is not choice of language, it's the person behind the code.

Once a month? No. I hardly even reboot my Windows machine once a month...

Only the major releases of Windows 10 need a stop the world reboot. Those happen once every six months. And it's usually only a few minutes.

That's for a home machine. I've seen some enterprise machines take forever. I have no idea how they managed to fuck that up, but it's on the IT organisation of those enterprises, not on Windows.
