Presumption of innocence never applied to SOCIAL judgement. It would be nice if it did, but that was never what happened. It’s why minors information isn’t supposed to be pasted all over the evening news too, so if they make a mistake it isn’t ‘permanent’ and they have some plausible deniability.

It’s always been the case that your neighbors or friends or employers or whatever would judge you as they saw fit for whatever they might see or find out about, or even overhear from the local loudmouth/busybody. Regardless of what was found in a court of law.

The challenge now is our ‘neighbors’ are now whichever nosy random person in the entire world that cares to look instead of just the local gossip circle, and the gossip is recorded nearly permanently and is indexed in an easy to find way decades later. :s

As to if this means people will stop being less judgmental since everyone is likely to have something shitty posted about them at some point? History or the current circumstances don’t seem to be pointing to ‘yes’ right now.

But at some point, either everyone is going to stop sharing the smell of their farts every morning, or folks are going to have to stop caring, or we’ll literally not be able to be friends with or employ anyone.
Middleware in NextJS 12 – What are they and how to get started with them
I don't think that Twitter thread presents a good look for anyone.

There is no timeline or context given here. So I don't know who this person is, and what direct interaction they have or haven't had with person in that article. All I can see is that this is a YouTuber, with ~2k Twitter followers and the tagline "It's all about merit until merit has tits". Who is "working on it", but hasn't shipped the parts yet. And who feels that NPR (who probably doesn't know she exists) deliberately cut her out because she's "not a straight white American tech bro".

To me, that thread is Twitter in a nutshell. Off the charts narcism and self-promotion, revolving around race/gender-charged drama. There may be some information that I'm missing here. But if you're starting from a place of NPR being too right-wing or bigoted, then I've seen enough.
Apple seems to have forgotten it built a notch in the MacBook Pro
Except that others will use it against you. Also, because this movie didn't convey it well, Spice is literally the thing that keeps the Empire and the economy going. Without it, there is no interstellar travel (thanks to a religious opposition to thinking machines). So maybe on an arbitrary barren sand planet you could try and get away with it, but this is not the one you want to test that on. It would be tantamount, at the time of the book's writing, to nuking the OPEC nations on Earth, you know, the places where (at the time) an incredibly large percentage of oil was being pulled out of the ground and keeping the global economy going.
Personally I find "transcendental" to be very problematic language. It definitely feels like it is referring to historical contexts steeped in white supremacy.
100%. It was probably due to some EU lawsuit or other, and rather than make 2 designs (US / EU), they just changed the design to make everyone happy.

It's weird that US companies basically need to be sued by the EU for stuff to be consumer friendly..
Yeah you're right, silly me.
Over the last few years many contributions from Facebook have made it into PHP mainline 7 & 8, and we've seen respective performance gains.

Unsure how extensively they continue to use their PHP to C++ compiler internally.
> There's been enormous conflict about simply building a high voltage transmission line

There might be less conflict if that line wasn't solely for the benefit of Massachusetts.
I bet it's also 20% slower than Windows 10.
This. You get the hang of the Clockwork Orange slang after a few pages, because the author is so slick with it.
> This type of response is also why Common Lisp isn’t more popular. :)

What does a response from a blunt commenter like me has to do with the success of CL? Do you mean CL users are prone to responding like me? I would say users of any language that's being dismissed as being old would react similarly.

> Elixir is basically a wrapper around Erlang and OTP

Yes, I know, I was going to say that Elixir itself is nothing new as it's just Erlang with a more palatable syntax on top... nothing really new, Erlang is about as old as Common Lisp.
> "we have to control the flow of information"

Someone already controls the flow of information, it can be Facebook, it can be Twitter, it can be newspapers, ...
The open question is who should control information and how.
My access to a public is way smaller than the one for Elon Musk. Information control is not uniform in the population.
Who do you want to make the rules on how information flows?
This is already done in Europe in the form of EU and country-specific research/development grants (e.g. ANR in France, BMBF in Germany). While in theory it sounds amazing, in practice it is a very poor way of making progress from my own personal experience.

The applicants form a consortium, usually a heavy hitter followed by some universities and smaller firms. They usually promise something that they are already working on in the context of a thematic package that the ministry puts up for grabs. The research is usually done by the university, while the large company moves the money around citing 'management' workloads. The small companies don't really do much, or present past results as cutting edge R&D.

To your number 4, you forget that all systems involve people, and in the small world model everybody in the industry kind of knows each other. It's very easy to wine&dine, then show some fancy demos to scruffy suits in Brussels and get away with doing absolutely nothing at all.

In my personal opinion this is more or less a consequence of all innovative and intelligent people going to work at FAANG for ads and whatnot, the rest of them being locked in the politics of academia.
NewsNow is hiring: Multiple fully remote vacancies in their development team
I'm not gonna hate on this too much; side projects like this are fun and help the creator understand the filesystem-side of their operating system. The colors are pretty, there's some nifty features to better understand the file list you're staring at.

This won't ever replace `ls` because it's not POSIX compliant, but that's okay because I don't think it needs to be. I have run into cases where downstream packages have dependencies on non-POSIX commands which gets a little annoying, but you can always choose something else (or take it on yourself to re-implement their idea in a POSIX-compliant way), which is the whole point of open source software.

Let this creator have their fun!
Matrix displays don't drive LEDs in parallel - each leg is a different shared connection that you multiplex over time.

Holiday lights generally aren't in parallel, as driving in series makes for more efficiency (higher voltage) and easier wiring. Once strings are long enough they're probably put directly in parallel, but that's just cheapos being cheap and relying on statistics.
By your phrasing on industrial food production it sounds like you believe there is an inherent requirement for industrial processes to use cheap ingredients and simultaneously market those ingredients as something else. That clearly isn't the case, it's a business decision to maximize profit, not something fundamental to industrial food production.

And yes by analogy if I buy 'ground beef' I know it will be 100% ground beef because we have laws ensuring that is the case. However if I buy Shepards Pie & the packaging in large, bold text informs me that it is made with beef, I have to spend 60 seconds checking the packaging for small print that tells me the beef is actually 98% soy and 2% beef then I feel that's misleading.

As a consumer I don't know why one is protected while the other isn't, but I've learned through buying really bad products that I need to spend 60 seconds checking the packaging because some companies are fine hiding the truth.

So really the suit is about truth in advertising and exposing that we have a very low bar to be honest in consumer products.
I’ve never heard of this. Only one of my casual tech blog reading or coding friends have. I don’t think Apple would do something because of such a small competitor. The Wikipedia entry for it only has an introduction section.
It specifically says in what you quoted "or with a vendor or service provider." If you're able to get away with only hiring people who don't understand the intricate details of filesystem drivers, overlay networks, and hardware virtualization because you just consume your infrastructure from a cloud provider, you're included in "team sport," where your team includes the cloud provider who hires a whole bunch of people with expertise totally different from your company. WhatsApp didn't stand up its own networks or build its own phones. It stood on the shoulders of giants who knew how to do that.
That's incredible!

Can you give us some more details outlining how you made the comparison, including what hardware, and what kind of code you were compiling?
> Multiple monitors, high res monitors, printers, gaming and Bluetooth come to mind

Multiple monitors: nope, wayland does it better. The amount of flickering, determining dpi etc is objectively worse than what you get with modern Wayland. The rest may be true, but other than printers, they are quite similar nowadays. Pipewire does close the gap with regards to bluetooth.

And then the other side: for development, windows is strictly inferior. Debugs are exceptionally slow for c++, git bash is cancer with no sane terminal emulator, and for java it is seriously slower for some reason.
PyTorch GPU acceleration for Apple's M1 chip?
>seems to be a broad generalization trying to say we should at least consider any nutjob theory to be legitimate. Lizard people? Flat earth? GTFO!

This issue is something that seems odd to me. Why are blatantly ridiculous theories lumped in with things that have some possibility of truth under one big 'conspiracy theory' label? Things like flat earth and lizard people are so obviously ridiculous yet the media seems to treat theories like that the same as theories that question government or corporate motives or other such things as equivalent.
>"I thought Pop Tarts would prevent cancer" is silly.

This strikes me as... not being in good faith.

Clearly you didn’t read the Complaint, only this article which is written on behalf of the food industry and an obvious attempt to publicly attack both a singled out woman that is part of a class of plaintiffs and the law firm representing the plaintiff. It’s the same reason to this day people talk negatively about a woman suing McDonald’s and winning $1M after being burned by hot coffee, because McDonald’s sought to mock her claims publicly and it is a successful tactic. It’s hardly ever mentioned the McDonald’s in question purposely served coffee significantly hotter than industry standards permit, failed to attach the lid to her coffee resulting in 3rd degree burns to her crotch area requiring skin graphs, and was only required to pay he a single days worth of coffee sales.

Just look at the bs title of the article, “law firm sues…”. Then the very first sentence charges the law firm with being a “litigious law firm.”

What a joke, a law firm isn’t suing Kellogg, a law firm represents plaintiffs in a class action law suit (which is rare because it requires overcoming a legal burden of certifying the class). It’s this class of plaintiffs suing Kellogg not a “litigious law firm.”

The lawsuit, in addition to damages, is seeking the product be properly labeled. While the truth about Kellogg selling shit products to consumers may be obvious to you (and will ironically be one of their defenses), Kellogg’s labels are allegedly below the industry standard of competing toaster pastries that make disclosures of the artificial fillers. So it’s maybe not so ridiculous this woman and class of plaintiffs thought a strawberry pop tart might include the health benefits of…strawberries. After all if they didn’t then pop tart could have easily labeled their product the same way as all the other strawberry toaster pastries. It’s a far cry away from trying to paint a single plaintiff of a class action lawsuit as a wacko that thinks pop tarts prevents cancer, but hey it’s why these anti-plaintiff articles are written by industry, corporations advertise and mislabel products to begin with…it works on people.
has anyone else noticed that increasingly in recent years, it seems as though any interpretation of reality that sits outside of the general "accepted" media consensus is deemed a "conspiracy theory"? and then it seems like, for many people, once they've been instructed through media consumption to "learn" that various ideas should be filed away under the "conspiracy theory" label in one's mind, then whenever anyone tries to discuss any possibility of any alternate explanation for world events outside of generally-accepted media coverage relating to the subject, it seems to trigger "CONSPIRACY THEORY" alarms in their head, causing them to refuse to even entertain any possible alternate explanation for said world events outside of said generally-accepted media coverage. anyone know what I'm talking about? it's like people get programmed to internally respond to any and all skepticism with a throw new ConspiracyTheoryException(); that breaks any attempt at internal logical control flow for even casually entertaining the possibility that any aspect of reality that is portrayed as the Official, Generally-Accepted Media Narrative has any chance of being different in reality compared to its Official, Generally-Accepted Media Portrayal. basically we've got to the point where showing any signs of skepticism is considered more or less offensive in most public discourse. "conspiracy theories" may "bypass people's rationality," but it's also pretty clear that, these days, the term "conspiracy theory" also "bypasses people's rationality." (this is difficult to explain generally but bringing up specific contentious examples would not lead to productive discussion.)
That they have to tell the truth in the ingredients list does not give them a license to lie everywhere else.

How could a competitor benefit from using an honest quantity of real strawberries, if the only place they can effectively advertise that is in the tiny ingredients list that nobody reads?
How would anyone implement this internationally?

Without that, this strategy is pointless.

How do you get India, China, all of Africa to stop producing CO2?

The US could go net zero and the effect wouldn’t be nearly enough to stop anything.
My first thought is using that CO2 stone for something like countertops instead of granite. The price is quite high per square foot, so it could be quite profitable to produce stone!
> Honestly the mess of shit on the desktop is one of the things I hate most about Windows.

What I did, is remove all rights to read/write to my Desktop folder. Everything still works, but I get the bonus of no icons appearing on it, and I cannot dump stuff on there either. My wallpaper is the only thing my desktop has and it stays beautifully uncluttered.
That was the first thing I wanted to check. It seems the author isn't aware of the existing fuss surrounding this: https://hothardware.com/news/vbs-kills-win11-gaming-perf
> They already don't want you to just scrape stuff off Wikipedia because mediawiki apparently doesn't do proper caching and does a stupidly expensive re-rendering of every page that is fetched.

It does cache pages very aggressively. And it even has solutions for hard problems in computer science, cache invalidation.

Pages are cached indefinitely until something pokes it.

Proof? Add ?action=purge to a wiki page.
In the US you have three options to avoid the high amounts of sugar in the mass products. You can buy proper natural/greek yogurts, they're fairly common, most grocery stores will have multiple options. You can get various low sugar yogurts. You can go with artificially flavored options, which will be 0-3g of sugar typically.

Kroger's (popular grocery store) house brand of vanilla yogurt is 4.6g of sugar per ounce. Their Greek version of that product is about half that sugar level.

Noosa vanilla bean yogurt is 4g of sugar per ounce. Their Lemon flavor is 4.3g of sugar per ounce.

Yoplait original strawberry is 3.1g of sugar per ounce.

Chobani greek yogurt with strawberries added is 2.5g of sugar per ounce.

Walmart's house brand of vanilla yogurt is 2.5g of sugar per ounce. Walmart's house brand of plain greek yogurt is about 1g of total sugar per ounce, claiming no added sugars.

The Greek Gods plain Greek yogurt is 1.5g of total sugar per ounce.

Oikos plain greek yogurt is around 1.1g of total sugar per ounce.

Oikos sells a "triple zero" brand of supposedly greek yogurt that is popular at grocery stores in the US. It claims zero sugar, zero sugar added, zero artificial sweeteners. It lists Stevia as its fourth ingredient (I guess they get to claim that's simultaneously not sugar and not an artificial sweetener).

Chobani makes a zero sugar line, that claims to have zero sugar and no artificial sweeteners. However they list Allulose on the label, which is really just a sugar (D-psicose).

The Two Good brand claims 0.38g of sugar per ounce, they use Stevia as the sweetener.

The US has about 4,000 yogurt options to choose from. That might be nice but it actually makes it annoying to sort through and find the quality options in the pile.
I'd like to see this done with a single microphone and a moving 'sound mirror' like a fan.

The fan blades should cause doppler shift and changing amplitude that varies based on the location of the sound.

I suspect that after just a few seconds, this would give better information than an array of 16 microphones.
AMD hasn't done much to lower prices since Ryzen was announced February 2017. And their down-market chips seem to be kind of vanishing, becoming unavailable.

Anytime a great competitor starts hiking upmarket, I tend to get very sad.

So it's great to see Intel showing up & getting back in the game. This looks like a good value. Congrats on shipping your post 14nm chips! Alas it's not all sun & roses: this is an 8-performance cores + 8-little cores chip. That's still a good amount of oomph. But it's also going to be a bit tricky to use well, I'd guess.
I want to preface my thoughts with that I wish the "team sport" mentality was more common in the dev world.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with blueslurpee here. I frequently join a team and find there are 1 or 2 devs who "know everything" and it is near impossible to pull the information out of their heads and into mine or someone else.

This might be isolated to the areas I work in, but I do find that the "10x engineer" myth seems to live on and prosper in far too many teams I've worked on. Despite how discouraging it is for the rest of us who want to play a "team sport".
They should check if the camera stops working when you replace it.
This is ubiquitous. Another variant: you think of a way to cheat; you assume your opponent is villainous and always cheats; so you assume your opponent was already cheating in this specific way; so you cheat in this specific way "to even the playing field". As soon as you accept it as axiomatic that the other guy cheats you are liberated from the rules yourself out of fairness. And you are still the righteous hero! How dare the other guy be so villainous, and so cunning as to hide it! He forced you to do a dastardly thing! He's ruining X for everyone!
Isn't that every tournament? Cheating is always "allowed" if you aren't caught.
[1] is not a good measure, because of low income subsidies not everyone qualifies for. I live in the Bay area, and I pay 35-41 cents/kwh in summer. Now if I charge during the nights with the EV plan, I get preferential price of 14 cents/kwh but that makes my day time use (for other things) that much more expensive. Sorry, I didn't mention I drive a long range model 3, and quoted the price for it, not the parent's mid range.
Its not simply "saving". Its where money is so much more valuable tomorrow than it is today, literally no one buys anything because why buy X today when you can buy 2 of X tomorrow? So the economy grinds to a halt.

Also, it exacerbates inequality immensely. When deflation is high, it means your existing money becomes more and more valuable for no other reason than existing. So the "rich get richer" in the most literal sense, for no other reason than having been rich in the first place. No investment or risk required.
I think you're correct. It's been a while since I read the books and I deliberately didn't reread them before the movie to avoid the kind of frustrations that occur when you see an adaptation and are too-familiar with the books so a few of these details are escaping me at present.

The Fremen in Lynch's adaptation did what they did in the book. They won the war any way they could as they were the underdogs, without taking Arakeen they couldn't win it.
My 10 Year Side Project Story
These junk printers usually must support mac os. It is becoming increasingly cheaper for vendor to support standards that work everywhere, including linux.

Printers which simply do not work are very rare nowadays. Sometimes you still have to google for a package or another to install and things instantly work.

I've seen a cheap epson network printer which advertises no linux support to work beautifully after "apt get install printer-driver-escpr". Its scanner function never needed any special setting.
I must report about 10-15 of these every week to YouTube. Recently, it's been Shiba Inu due to the pump it's been getting.

Most of the scam live streams I've seen and reported are channels which appear to have been 'taken over'/'hacked' and their content changed or deleted to then kick off a 'giveaway' stream which are all scams.

They all have the same basic layout on screen, so really YouTube's bots should do a better job of detecting them. YouTube are literally recommending content which perpetrates fraud, at this point.
Thanks for sharing this - this line made me particularly emotional:

> To this day, the words he recalls her saying make him emotional: "When I'm dancing with others," she said, "in my head I'm dancing with you."
Given the cloud ecosystem (and associated markets), I would be noteworthily surprised if an average datacenter/colo's smart-hands facilities wouldn't be able to accept me mailing in some HDDs, having them attached (possibly by renting multiple additional servers and having them installed in there), then later disconnecting them and printing a supplied prepaid shipping label to return them.

(I'd provide an appropriately oversized tip to ensure a near-unreasonable amount of bubble wrap is included in the return.)
Yeah they don't have to add ugly SD card readers in there MacBooks for people who want to use Raspberry Pis.
Yeah if there was enough of a market that Apple sold them, it would be much cheaper than the current cost to make these low-volume Librem devices, not to mention the domestically assembled one for $2000
I love that NBC was suggesting the bizarre blue and white building on Epstein's island was his "workout building". Meanwhile, drone footage of the building shot through the windows clearly shows mattresses on the floor and no workout equipment. So strange for the MSM which ordinarily loves to run wild with speculation but gives a convicted pedophile all the benefit of the doubt.
Plenty of thoughtful people who have actually looked through the evidence and data walked away from the 2020 election believing it was rigged. Just because its a "conspiracy" doesn't mean it is wrong.
