They love to refer to fake news as something outside mainstream media as well, sites like newstrump and theonion. But given the media is caught making up stories on a weekly basis as well they never seem to show the self awareness they are a much bigger problem for fake news. They absolutely pass conspiracy theories and lie to their audience and then play constantly this game of blaming the audience for believing in it all when their correction likely never even gets published and if it does its no where near the prominence of the original clearly proven false story.
It might not be KISS, but I think exa embodies the UNIX philosophy. It does one thing (show me the contents of a folder) and it does it well (arguably better than ls as long as the consumer is a human).

The UNIX philosophy isn't "only call one syscall", so getting more info on the files it's displaying is far game in my book.
Audio is low enough frequency that you can process the signal directly. The time delay/phase information between each mic allows you to know which direction the sound is coming from. This is essentially the opposite of beam forming. Theoretically you could do it with visible light and not need a lens if you had a computer and sensors that could operate fast enough. But optical sensors typically only tell you the amplitude of light and not phase for example.

Edit: To clarify, the "opposite" of beam forming means using processing you can choose which direction you want to listen at any one time, like a beam. Then you can scan the beam across x,y and make an image.
Do you have concrete examples in mind of improved UI and UX in Windows and Mac in the past 20 years? I'm genuinely curious because comparing my memories of Windows XP and Windows 7 I can't think of any great innovations.

Windows 10's innovations were so bad I left the OS entirely with extensive telemetry, an abusive and confusing cloud account system, ads on your desktop. The only UX improvement I saw was being able to enter your session with a pin that doesn't require you to press the enter-key, but they even botched that by not letting you type letters and not showing any warnings: Something we learned was necessary 20 years ago with the caps-lock warning.
Can't speak to Macs as I only recently began checking them out.

I've been studying Desktop Environments for a FOSS project, I have over a dozen VMs setup with different distros and operating systems using different DEs, and they're all basically the same. It strikes me as unfair to say Linux is copying either Windows or MacOS. I see a lot of innovation in open-source, there are a lot of innovative desktop components, settings and paradigms (Compiz comes to mind, have you seen such a customizable compositor in MacOS or Windows?) but it's natural that distributions end up choosing a common visual language by default, simply because it's what people know and expect.
Not sure what you mean by “proprietary”. They use hack/hhvm which is open source. It’s not super popular but slack also uses it.
What features does Windows have that Linux doesn't?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is HDR support, but that wouldn't affect these benchmark results.

A nation-state is a state that perfectly aligns with a nationality. Hence nation-state. A nation that is also a state. The Russian Federation is a state with many nationalities within its borders. So it isn't a nation-state.

Other classic examples of non-nation-states are the UK and the US.

There are plenty of ways to cheat at chess. Here's one: program chess pieces to make the optimal move for you. If you are not allowed to provide the pieces, find out the pieces being used ahead of time and create programmable replicas. Then swap each piece out with your programmed pieces under your sleeve.
Or just buy a set of playing cards with braille on them (even if he didn't read braille, it would be easy enough to learn 4 suits and 13 ranks).
It has somehow become common for people to use "nation-state" almost interchangeably with "state" without fully considering the connotations it implies. Regardless, there's not a clearly agreed upon threshold of how much national identity must be shared to qualify as a nation-state, nor was Microsoft intending to make any sort of commentary on national identity.

AFAIK, replacing the battery on the previous generation meant replacing the top part of the body, to which the battery was glued. That included replacing the keyboard and the touchpad (not 100% sure if the old keyboard and touchpad could have been kept; maybe they were replaced just because of the damage done to them by the expanding batteries). At the same time, the previous generation had battery problems and keyboard problems (as pointed out in sub-comments), which meant many were replaced for free even out of warranty (as it happened to me due to faulty battery).

I suspect someone at Apple realized how much would have been saved if only the battery was not glued to the case.

Edit: mentioned the keyboard problem, which would result in replacing the battery too it seems.

Yes, I've noticed this with friends. Even obvious questioning of motives based on incentives (saying Apple is removing ports to make more money or whatever) seems to trigger this response for some people.

Yah, perhaps it'd be best to talk about mean and variance.

For COVID-19, it looks like natural infection provides a somewhat better neutralizing titer of antibodies than vaccination on average. But there's a much larger variation in the response than vaccination provides. The people with the lowest responses are in the natural infection group, too.

Not really getting the argument, the above lib pretty much makes it a superset that adds types.

And while I don't know the scope of the library, if they have a way to not allow dynamic features then you're already starting from a having a typed language (with one library dependency).

Only now you can keep building up the type system in ways that benefit your project, unlike in most non lisp languages.

Add to the list of preposterous baseless debunked conspiracy theories that turns out to be true, NIH has finally admitted that Ecohealth, the NGO headed by Peter Daszak, the most vocal opponent of the lab leak theory, did indeed carry out Gain-on-Function research with chimeric coronaviruses in bats that were able to infect humanized mice.

IANA controls http codes only insofar as no one has told them to knock it off yet. There's no major interop risk from conflicting (200, 400, 500) codes in the way there is for other namespaces because the semantics are essentially contained only in the first digit.
Yes, that is definitely something we talk a lot about. On one hand, we are positioned in a way that is very broad, which means "not the best for anything specific". On the other hand, I (want to?) believe that there is a way to provide a horizontal product in this space.

I take a lot of inspiration from Notion, Airtable, Trello, Typeform. They solve a generic problem and are almost mental models in product form. The modularity of Eduflow means that our customers are using us for very different things internally, which means that:

1. There are many gateways to using Eduflow. If you are looking for a solution to a specific problem, we can probably do it pretty well.

2. If we are used across departments and functions, then we become a lot more sticky, useful and valuable long term.

95%+ of our customers come inbound today, but you are totally right about the different way to approach these different types of clients.
I think it works best when you have multiple languages in one process. Eg a Java app passing data to an embedded python script, where both languages manipulate the same data structures in memory.
Looks like the scientist who discovered neutrino oscillations is Bruno Pontecorvo and his life story is quite interesting. Here's what he had to say about the Soviet Union in 1992:

Now, for the first time, he is prepared to talk about the choice he made. But, with most Communist countries having changed their colours, how does he feel about the dedication of his life to the Communist cause?

'The simple explanation is this: I was a cretin,' he said. 'The fact that I could be so stupid, and many people close to me should have been quite so stupid . . .' The sentence was left unfinished.

Communism, he went on, was 'like a religion, a revealed religion . . . with myths or rites to explain it. It was the absolute absence of logic.' He stuck by his faith, even after the invasion of Hungary in 1956. When Andrei Sakharov, a fellow physicist, turned against the system, it made no difference. 'I had always admired him as a great scientist and a man of integrity. However, my idea was that he was naive . . . it was I who was naive.'

Very good points. Rogan said Google is hiding information (which they are).

REST doesn't make much sense outside of the context of it's original environment: coarse grain hypermedia systems. It was cargo-culted into first the SOAP API world and then, more humorously, into the JSON API world. Goes to show how much more institutional momentum matters than common sense in technical questions.

Even granting XML and JSON could have a hypermedia imposed on top of them, if it is code, rather than a human, consuming the API, all the dynamicism of the uniform interface is wasted.

The problem is real and the national organization (ACBL), run by seventy and eighty year-olds, has not found the courage to address it.

There is no way to prevent the exchange of unauthorized information (i.e. not conveyed by a bid or a card played) online, but the full record of the play makes it easy to detect cheating with a high degree of statistical confidence, indeed overwhelming after hundreds of hands. This is entirely practical. It's not even "big data". A 16-core desktop should suffice to process a day's worth of data from Bridge Base Online (BBO) in under 15 minutes, and update statistics in a database. Nicolas Hammond, cited in the article, has done the analysis. I'm confident it works, because I can see step by step how I would replicate his work, well enough to verify.

But nothing is ever easy... There is bad blood between Nicolas Hammond and the ACBL. To the ACBL's credit, they moved quickly to develop a computer based scoring program at the dawn of the PC era. And 30+ years later, they are still using the same ACBLscore program written in Pascal by a single smart self-taught (now retired) programmer, without so far as I can ascertain the benefit of revision control.

Nine years ago, the ACBL tried to replace ACBLscore. Mr. Hammond's software company was hired to do the work. It didn't go well. The ACBL has never given an honest accounting of the failure to its membership. Mr. Hammond hides behind the NDA he signed with the ACBL. From experience, I'm sure there was shared responsibility on a project chock full of weird legacy issues. But it's impossible to apportion the blame.

From a programming view point, Mr. Hammond's cheating detection pipeline is simple and clean, and free of legacy issues, a whole different world from ACBLscore+. But the ACBL does not understand this, will not bury the hatchet, fears lawsuits, and has insiders and sponsors who don't want cheating investigated too carefully.

So a great intellectual game is dying. The ACBL brings more nails for the coffin. They deserve the bad publicity.
Well it's simpler than that. Even if it was a known and specific American that can be sued, there are literally 10000s of them. A Judge may look poorly on a lawsuit where 1 of them was chosen - he'll say, why are you not going after the other 9999? The legal case there is this person is obviously unfairly chosen, and is likely just rebroadcasting a popular sentiment. It would also go nowhere if it had to get to casting a jury.
Equating "He will respectfully probe for intent in a way that doesn’t put the requester on the defensive" with "tip-toeing around issues" seems... not right to me.
Checking now (about half an hour later), I see a half-dozen stories about the "Rust" movie shooting (a video statement by a sheriff as the top headline), with Rittenhouse just below that.

Glad to hear a new release is coming. I run CouchDB in production. I have actually checked the couchdb repo to see if it was being maintained.

Some of the things that trouble me. The ubuntu upstream package manager dropped off the radar for a while, not sure if it's currently running or not. Also, the last release was a looong time ago. I understand it's pretty stable, but there are rough spots that could use some shoring up as noted.

These issues aren't enough for me drop its active use in production, but I'm eyeing reworking how I use if these kinds of issues continue. This kind of dropping the ball doesn't instill confidence. I don't want to have to maintain my own installer so I can predictably perform new installations.

Also, no Linux ARM package. I gave a go at compiling it myself for ARM, but that failed due to being unable to find/use a compatible SpiderMonkey.

It's great tech, and I'd love to carry it with me into bigger and better projects. Here hoping :)

They’re a competitor by definition, but not by any practical consideration.

Despite seeming like a great company and product they probably sell fewer machines and have less mindshare than the $19 Apple cleaning cloth.

Since all laptops previously had and some still have replaceable batteries, including Apple, I’m also curious how Framework gets credit for this innovation?
> It doesn't matter what the front of the box says

Don't you see that is the problem? We have trademark laws to protect companies from confusing consumers. E.g. If a cola company comes even close to confusing a consumer that their product is 'coke' then it gets sued.

However, when consumers are routinely confused by what's in a product or have become so accustomed that the picture on the box is not actually what is in the box then this audience seems to think that is okay.

I find the difference in opinions between business protection and consumer protection astounding. We've been massively propagandized by capitalism.

Except it's a lie that the real innovators are those in the private sector, and that they need to recoup their investment through the intellectual property regime. Nearly all discoveries are made through public sector funding.

It's unironically true that GraphQL in combination with database introspection & query tools like Hasura is a far superior pattern to REST-based CRUD.

Additionally, as a UI developer, I understand you are trying to make it seem like GraphQL promotes anti-patterns, but being able to make a single query which is deeply nested and therefore can maintain state for an entire sub-tree of your app is a really good state management pattern. Less coupling, separation of concerns, and usually significantly reduced network activity since you just need to keep the GraphQL state aligned, which is actually specified unlike how to sync a REST resource.

Do you actually have any experience with this tool?

Part of me thinks that government agencies are behind distributing some of these 'theories' to intellectually deficient individuals in order to discredit the theories.

Like, QAnon folk are obviously idiots, but it's more than plausible that QAnon was created by some government agency in order to discredit theories of events that could be damaging to the government.

In the US there's been a ton of 'movements' that have risen and then fizzled out very quickly as they initially capture the public's imagination, then are co-opted by (useful) idiots.
