who says the metaverse has to eat the world?

just because there’s only 30,000 people means it’s not meta?
Me: "Remembering a person is different, but a person isn't an abstract entity."

You: "No. You can meet people and get to know them without learning their names."

I'm confused, as I can't see how your observation - insightful as it is - is supposed to contradict what I wrote.

Did you not read my comment in full, or is there something I am missing?
Neat! I've run across your site organically :P

I've always wondered, and since you're right here... how do sites like this make money?

It looks like you're probably crawling all the JAV vendors, finding free clips of today's releases, embedding them in your own site to draw traffic, and making money with affiliate links to buy the full content?

Am I missing anything? It seems hard to believe you'd get enough affiliate signups to make it worthwhile.

I can imagine your site as being a few hours a year of script maintenance and a money printer, or a 40hr/week SEO job with 1000s of similar sites across the adult industry.

I'd love to know anything you're willing to share about how the business works.
Maybe John traveled to another city so that the things he does there are not linked to what he does at home. If John wants that I share his preferences, he should let me know and the other business owner should ask him whom to contact in order to spare him the inconvenience of listing all his preferences himself.

Edit: grammar
My point is that in Arch you can't start your work day by updating your system, you might have to fix shit instead of working.

With an LTS distro I know when teh notification for updates appears that is a security thing and it is safe to update.

>Said that, it has been much more a nightmare for me to install packages in docker images of Ubuntu.

I am assuming you are trying to install something outside the official repos, like you want to get the latest node/python or some other latest stuff using a PPA. Those PPA might not be that good quality so you could get issues like conflicts. I am not a sysadmin or dev-ops guy to tell you what is the correct way to install newer version of stuff.
ooh, I'm not even having a kid but this is fun to play around with!

One feature that would be nice to see: adding names. I always thought it would be fun to name a kid Pickle but it's not in your list :)

thanks for making this!
Yeah interoperability and the ability to travel between worlds is key. Just the other day I implemented a portal between two virtual worlds in WebGL, it works on mobile/desktop but as stated in this thread the experience is ruined when in VR because selecting a link pops you out to a 2D view. To sustain the feeling of immersion, the user's state needs to be maintained when hopping between worlds.

This is something the folks at Oculus Browser/Meta are considering though! Ideally it needs to be a standard, just like HTTP and TCP/IP. I'm incredibly bullish that the metaverse needs to be built on top of our current World Wide Web, so the ecosystem itself isn't owned by any one corporation. The destinations themselves, sure, they can be properties of a startup or larger co like Meta or Microsoft.

Trade and commerce is something the government regulates and stopping the sale of human flesh is a worthwhile goal.

Regulating business is wholly different from regulating bodily relations between two individuals. In the same way I'd encourage regulations for brothels and prostitutes, which constitute a business, while finding similar regulations between spouses abhorrent.
If you're more of a technical person, starting an analyst firm that provides insight for existing venture capital firms might be a solid play. Lots of people would like to save the planet and get rich doing it, they just need someone to tell them how.
> Everything is still either magnetic- or inertial confinement-based, right?

Pretty much, but there are some that are kinda-sorta both (General Fusion's approach is "magneto-inertial"), and also a lot of variety within each bucket. Like, Zap Energy's approach is magnetic, but involves no external magnets, whereas developing the fancy magnets is a key operational challenge for CFS.
The biggest problem with decentralization is that most people cannot imagine it, at all. Most people, including developers, are limited to what they are already familiar with, which is websites and content. That is not decentralized and any attempt to use websites or content to frame some discussion of decentralization is at best grossly incomplete.

If you want to think in terms of decentralization you have to stop thinking in terms of broadcast, influence, publication, and broadcast. In a decentralized system you only influence those whom you are directly connected to and only if they wish to consume it.

If the goal of your online presence is some form of attention seeking behavior then be happy with Twitter and Facebook. If on the other hand you wish to share and expose absolutely everything without embarrassment or violations of privacy decentralization is probably something amazing.
Not exactly; my work will just be an extension of my existing hobbies (CNC, mathematical explorations, machine learning, etc) and I've learned to scale back my expectations so that there's nothing I have to worry about when I leave the garage at night.

I certainly wouldn't be working to make money or anything. I don't even etsy my CNC stuff (though I could) because I don't want to turn my hobbies into a "job"

I've been using react-aria on a personal project, as well as building a UI library at work based on TailwindCSS+React Aria. I generally really like the combination.

The maintainers are super responsive+helpful on Github and really know how to engage constructively with criticism.

I really appreciate what they're doing. The combination of TailwindCSS+React Aria provides one with a pretty great template/scaffolding for building out a fully featured component library.

The only downside that I've found is that their typescript support can be a little weird in my experience, but their approach is nonetheless well considered imo. edit: https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/pull/1761#issuecomme... is a decent summary of what I'm referring.
we'll have to agree to disagree. I think people being able to enjoy things together in-person is exactly the point.
Are there any good textbooks that introduce applied math and engineering methods using software* (and not require solving problems by hand)?

*By software I mean both programming languages (Python) and software suites (MatLab, Mathematica, Sage, etc.),
Totally, and I agree with you! :)
> The people pushing it as a COVID treatment are usually pushing prolonged usage at higher doses – they routinely dismiss studies showing no benefits as not using enough – and the documented side effects definitely happen at those levels.

Uh, I have never seen that from them. All of them say the bad studies are the ones using too high a dosage, and the side effects from that dosage are why those studies have bad results.
> "power should be distributed to leaf nodes as much as possible"

I don't see how this works in practice. Power manifests in subtle ways. For example, you can have a pure direct democracy where individual voters nominally carry all the political power...

...but who decides what is on the ballot? Who determines the ontology of current and future policy decisions? Are closely-worded policies X ("ban abortion") and Y ("restrict abortion") the same policy with shared vote counts or different policies with separate vote counts?

If you democratize that power, you are subscribing for literally endless arguments over semantics.

> Sorry, what I meant was: when I need to manage the version of something carefully, I just compile it from source and that's OK with me. My understanding is that people use the AUR for this on Arch, and the pains don't seem worth it.

Nobody's making you use the AUR! If you want to 'make && sudo make install' you can do that all day long.

The AUR value add is that other people have already figured out recipes for how to take the equivalent of 'make && sudo make install' and generate a package you can mange with the package manager.

There exist plenty of tools to automate all AUR interactions, but none of these will ever be included in Arch's main repos, since they are not a core part of Arch itself. This is to maintain a sharp delineation between properly supported Arch packages and the more wild west AUR recipes. That said, once you download a PKGBUILD from the AUR, you can use the same official tools to build and install the package that are used for the distro proper.

When I want to build from source, and something isn't in the AUR, I just spend the 5 minutes to make a proper PKGBUILD for myself. It is very easy and it simplifies management of things.
> The Military primarily selects for Obedience.

The people pick the wars (well, their elected leaders do), the soldiers and sailors fight them. And believe me, you don't want blind obedience at any level in the military. Blind obedience is a very, very bad thing and it will lose wars. You want loyalty, which sometimes requires disobedience (e.g. tell the captain no when he wants to turn into an undersea mountain) to work.
Problem validation is a brilliant idea.

Unique names though… there’s a certain safety in numbers that a common name affords. A unique name is very easy to target in searches.
That's terrible advice if the objection is of legal nature, for example, or when human safety is at stake. Also, you typically don't have unlimited resources, so "you just have to try something" isn't a good justification if there valid objections against its feasibility.
After almost 2 years running Arch I switched back to Windows last summer on my home laptop (Dell XPS 13 9380).

The pipewire update needed by pulseaudio effects broke the sound output to my bluetooth headset.
Also at the same time a Gnome update made my desktop environment unstable.
I did not want to spend time on freezing dependencies, reverting some of them etc. Got tired at the time of these occasional maintenance operations, and not optimal hardware support. To be honest most of the update issues were related to Gnome major updates. I think an update only broke once my system, I could not login (pam configuration upgrade issue). I was running the LTS kernel.

I think I had better battery life on Linux thought. It must have improved with Firefox/Chromium hardware acceleration.

Arch is still my preferred distro for a dev machine thought.

Back to Windows, I just updated to W11 today, I very much like the changes in the UI.
Also the ability to run some Linux GUI apps without starting a X server, exporting the DISPLAY, etc directly from the a WLS2 vm is nice.

Even thought I think I'll keep my development environment in a VM (arch) mainly because of docker. I found docker for desktop on Windows really too slow. Security wise I also prefer that, I install too many tools that I don't trust. The drawback of using a VM is of course performance but that is not that an issue for the kind of dev/work I do (NodeJs/Typescript/Vue/Python/Cloudformation/Terraform). Also sometimes I have an idea or something I'd like to test quickly and I don't want to start the VM and I just give up.

I'll probably stick to that 1 or 2 years, when I'll think about replacing my laptop. If I had to today, I'll probably go for a Macbook air m1.
I lived in Halle (Saale) between 2008 and 2012. We used to go to Leipzig quite often to hear the philarmonic, shopping and just around town. I remember it as an amazing little city with plenty of culture. I hope I can visit it again in the future.

Meet Dale. Back in 1977, Dale was working with Hayes making dial-up modems (as in Hayes of the "AT command set"). At age 35, "Dale decided his privately held Hayes stock was worth enough to retire and live well". Since then he tinkers with electronics, and his robot webpage is a good resource for amateur robogames builders and a very interesting read.

Your comment would be just fine without that swipe.
Is Pascal really considered a second-class language in the industry so using it in the past is some disreputable act? I notice some level of condescension to the language itself from time to time, but surely it's a valid experience, or am I wrong? Hope it's just some thing from the 2001.
Problem is, as someone mentioned in the GitHub thread as well, people just press OK, especially if it's a transitive dependency.
i would reaaaally hope they ARE testing with all hardware configs given that they own the hardware layer.
You know IVM has been around since the 70s? People take it all of the time. It’s a very studied drug, on the list of WHO’s 100 most essential medicines. The inventor won the noble prize for it.

The cultivated animosity towards it is more of a result of propaganda. With this much money at stake, it’s easy to see who might actually be pushing that propaganda.
Your comments on the RFC cover this, but I want to highlight a two things:

1) The vast majority of packages on npm don't require install scripts to work.

2) Many of them that currently include install scripts are just ads asking people to contribute code or money to their project.
Bluetoth as a standard ist pretty botched, sadly. If I understood correctly it is a bunch of only loosely related protocols between major versions. And implementations often seem to be lacking. At least my experience with BT is horrible and over time loaded with hate and anger.

Interesting to hear that Apple managed to solve the issues within their closed ecosystem. So at least a solution DOES exists. The world could be so much better!
Agree that it would be nice it thos solutions could penetrate the non-Apple world also.

The last time I checked they didn't support it, they just didn't fuse it off on the die. If you want the reliability off ECC you probably also want that functionality verified and tested unless you are just buying it because it might help and it sounds cool.

I haven't seen any benchmarks how immune to radiation DDR-5 to DDR-4 with ECC is but DDR-5 has a kind of parity check build in.
If you work for a corporation, you already are prevented from using your brain and mouth as you see fit (or at least, what you "see fit" is being heavily influenced by your desire to stay employed by them).

Consumer privacy regulations don't control your brain and mouth, they control the incentives of companies, who are not humans, and do not have mouths or brains. Those companies then control the incentives of their employees who can choose whether or not to work for them.
I'm German and I felt very alien as well when I visited. It is an historical monument. People don't go there to commemorate the Völkerschlacht (the small museum nearby is better suited for that), but to see how they commemorated the Völkerschlacht 100 years ago.
Frankly, our current body politic is very seriously ill.

Trust is low.

Because of all that, I personally am paying close attention to how I handle my part in it and am reluctant to judge anyone else.

I am usually reluctant anyway, because what I feel should be obvious reasons! But yeah, extra care is indicated right now.

Best move, in my view as a normie out there wanting to be a good human, is to try and understand one another better, avoid judgement and the usual fear, blame and shame, talk more and hopefully more of us make smarter choices and see lower risks and better outcomes more of the time as this all plays out.

Pretty sure that is as good as it all gets right now.
> The sample population consisted of more than 179,000 high school students living in Utah and participating in the Communities That Care (CTC) Youth Survey from 2011-2017.

Utah is not known for its religious diversity. I wonder how this would look over a different population.

There could also be a difference between what teens say and what they feel. I though there had been some studies that suggested that suicide wasn't as tied to external factors as people thought. Depression is a mental illness, it can happen to people with good families and good friends.
I believe they've only halted recruiting for the trial, not the trial itself. The Pfizer CEO this morning also said they're continuing with plans for two other trials starting soon, which is in people with non-co-morbidities, and to household contacts of confirmed cases.
You got it backwards: Lenovo/IBM never made any swap, though several other manufacturers did. The fn key is still in the same location as when it first appeared in the ThinkPad 300 in 1992. That location was more common in older laptops (google some pics of early Compaq LTE or HP Onmibooks), but at some point all brands except IBM and Apple decided to place CTRL in the left corner.
It's already here. Samsung DeX is amazing. I'll be ditching the laptop soon

Im sorry but everything you wrote is just incorrect. The notion that retail cannot and has not caused bubbles in the past is asinine and your explanations of past bubbles are just factually wrong. Anyone in 2001 remembers their barber telling them which tech stocks they were invested in. The housing market was clear cut retail debt in 2007. And the entire crypto thing is retail. Blackrock is not invested in Bitcoin. You sound so confident but are just so wrong.
> But what happens if the subscription record is deleted from the DB right before emitting the event due to a bug?

Isn't this still inside an uncommitted transaction? What sort of bug would lead to an uncommitted record being deleted that was not a major bug in the database?

If the actual concern is that the record is deleted before the event is processed (not before it is sent as the article seems to be talking about), why not put foreign keys between the outbox and the users to either prevent that or make sure that both are deleted simultaneously?
Interesting. Usually, statically linking Qt doesn't do much for disk usage because signals and slots cause symbols to be "theoretically reachable" because the linker can't know which strings you are going to pass to QObject::connect() at runtime. More technically, otherwise unused symbols are reachable through the meta-object data tables.
>Command line argument parsing

20-30 LoC maybe. `process.argv.slice(2).forEach(str => ... )`.

there is no access to the raw command-line invocation, sadly, so you really can't really do anything fancier than that.

>config loading

that thing "RC" package does - looking up the config file in random locations - is really strange to me. aren't you the one in control of where it is stored?
I think that will be on a state by state basis as from my understanding the individual states set the vaccine requirements for schools. I guess the federal government could try to do something along the lines of the OSHA requirement but I think that would be a political misfire in this environment. Most of what (all) politicians do is to get reelected and I think mandating child Covid vaccination would not work in the current administrations favor especially considering what a good job the republican party has done leveraging the boogey man of critical race theory. So I am doubtful that they mandate vaccines for kids. I could be wrong though.

AOT is actually often slower than the JVM because it doesn't have runtime profiling. It is possible to use AOT with runtime profiling (i.e. run your app in some real world manner, capture the data and then AOT with the runtime data).

But the point here is that JVM (and V8 actually) can do more than simple compiling by understanding the nature in which the program runs and therefore be quite fast often making up for the fact they are VMs.

I'd rather see us keep the money here and instead bring those scientists here to make America better as it improves the US economy. Taxpayer dollars should work for the citizens that are taxed.
Not every industry requires being 24/7 on-call -- just stay away from the web stuff, and regular business hours become much more common. There are still "crunch" time when a customer wants you to work 120 hours a week but this is a question of being able to say "no"... which is much easier if you have enough money in the bank to retire anytime.
