I don't understand what GNOME using Wayland would have to do with any other DEs, those DEs don't really have to use Wayland if they don't want. Although they probably should for technical reasons. Also I don't think any youtube videos were a particularly big factor in the decision, Mark Shuttleworth said it was because of money: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/10/why-did-ubuntu-drop-unit...

"About the 'vision' comment, at my work there is always a support team, they get feedback from users and we never give a response 'it is our designer vision or our dev leader vision that things are like this'."

Yeah you may not actually say those words exactly but I've many times heard support staff essentially state the same thing. They might say "sorry the product is not designed to do that" or "we don't sell that here", e.g. if you go to a car dealership and what you really want to buy is a helicopter, they will say sorry we don't sell flying cars, these cars were not designed to fly. Maybe they don't use the word "vision" but it's all the same, if you decide you are going to build a car a certain way then you have to stick to that, once you decide to add helicopter blades then it's a different product for a different market. So you could just exchange the word "vision" with "plan" if that helps to understand it.

For a big project, yeah, they can obviously afford to do more and to put more features in a product but they still have to draw the line somewhere.
Don't try to use it directly, you need a higher level library.

Multiple Ways to Inheritance in Perl
I've also had fun experiences where the "special characters" differ in the description than in the implementation in a few ways.

Once I had a password accepted with non-alpha numeric characters which were considered invalid as input on the login screen and so even though my password was correct it would not let me log in because it was validated with different logic after creation.

Another issue I've seen is that the password was required to have only a certain subset of non-alphanumeric characters, but it did not explain or validate this client side so I had a password for which all the boxes turned green, but was still invalid.

In both cases only trial and error worked to find a valid password.
Okay... I feel like an idiot: I didn't realize there was a Chromium browser -- I thought there were just Chromium-based browsers (like SRWare Iron which I haven't touched in over ten years). Will check this out but to get it close to what Brave does for my useage I will need to add adblocking and a few other privacy things first (hopefully that's all supported and works).
I've been using them inside github readme.md files. Seems like a convenient way to send mobile users to a demo page.

This is exactly what FAANGs do with their data platforms. There are literally hundreds of groups within these companies with very strict data isolation requirements between them. Pretty sure something like that is either already possible or will be very soon, there's just too much prior art here.
In my company, it's not malice, it's stupidity and a lack of leadership.

Some of the middle managers I deal with regularly lament that our web sites don't look like "real" web sites, because they aren't flashy enough. When I ask them what web sites they consider "real," they say things like "YouTube," or "MTV." Sometimes name their favorite video game, or streaming show.

Fortunately, I'm able to push back on these requests successfully (so far). But sometimes I have to play the "We're a healthcare company, not a toy company" card. Sometimes that doesn't work, and I have to go over people's heads.

More and more, the people in charge don't know the difference between a web site, an app, a video game, or one of those TV police dramas where someone shouts "Enhance!" and a crime is solved.
I'd take Rust over C++ for the GPU.
Yes Photon is completely proprietary. Databricks does have a "delta" version, but it is actually completely baked into the databricks runtime. So we are both correct. Ali (Databricks CEO) actually has gone on record to say Databricks is 90% proprietary code. There is an open source version, but it is not as good. The culture within Databricks though, is completely open source. Unlike Snowflake, the culture is definitely not open source. I think it affects the culture too.
> I felt like I didn't actually know what happened in the past, so I didn't know who I was in the present, and the future I was working towards was gone. It was existentially disorienting.

I feel like it happens a lot in modern relationships. People become so interdependent and build themselves and their identities propped against each-other (to the point of neglecting families and friends even), so much that when it chatters it's a life changing experience. The interdependence could even be a cause of the breakup itself. I also feel like a lot of dysfunctional couples are staying together not to break the illusion (some kind of weir sunk cost fallacy).

People need space and solitude to find themselves, only then they can start building healthy and stable relationships, ~50% of married couple divorce (and much more unmarried breakup), statistically your couple won't last, live like every day is the last day of your relationship and make the best out of it (it also helps keeping the gears of love running).

Treat love as a drug (or food), when used in moderation and in a safe manner it can be soothing and positive, when your life starts to exclusively revolve around it it quickly can spiral out of control. Maintain a good routine; friends, hobbies, sport, job, &c.

Read books about the psychology of love, couples, relationships, breakups, it helps a lot when you figure out that most people are going through the same thing and are getting past it with time. You can also check out stoic philosophers and how to live for and by yourself, you don't have to take it to the letter but it certainly gives you another point of view.
A different article[1] I read with a similar headline has this claim:

> To leave the Lower Mainland of BC, you would have to use Highway 99, Highway 1, or the Coquihalla.

I'm not at all familiar with the area. Are there really only 3 roads between Vancouver and the rest of Canada without going through Washington? That seems like such a low number.

I'm not sure why anyone uses banks like BoA, Wells Fargo, First Niagara, etc.

Fidelity is a superior experience in nearly every way - just categorically. I'm not sure if people just don't know that you can use Fidelity this way?

The only downsides are no local branches, but that's hardly an issue unless you need a cashiers check. In those rare cases you can spin up an account at shitty bank, get the check, then close the account. I've had to do that maybe once ever.
It's very close but I wouldn't expect it in 18, much more likely to land in 19 as preview. I have been using Loom builds for a small app for a while and haven't encountered anything strange (though last time I checked virtual threads confused the crap out of my IDE debugger) so I expect that there should be very few bugs to fix and thus should have an easy path to LTS in Java 21.
I'm here for this hack.
Infinitesimals can't be used to prove anything - it's really easy to write equations like

x + y + z = 0

dx/dy * dy/dz * dz/dx = -1

that make no sense if you don't know epsilon-delta calculus.

You can use infinitesimal analysis but that's a completely different thing that you probably won't enjoy if you don't think epsilon-delta is straightforward.

I'll often find a keyboard sequence to speed it up, usually something like tab-tab-space, tab-tab-space (assuming each question is a set of 2 radio buttons or checkboxes... for drop-down lists it's often a matter of typing the first letter or several, like tab, n, tab, n).
The point your parent post was making was that regardless of whether or not you actually got fired doesn't actually matter. The signal you should be paying attention to (which you are surely aware of, since you say this episode still bothers you) is that the environment was a toxic one so if they did fire you they would have been doing you a favor. At least from a silver linings point of view.
So we “scaled down” all the way to B2B. Turns out, more than a few restaurants in town would gladly handle the sales and marketing themselves and keep 100% of the order value minus fixed delivery fees.

What value does this MVP offered, bookkeeping orders? Couldn't the restaurants just contact the courier directly too? Looks like the restaurants were already doing it.

I'm assuming the burden of filling up the web form would be the same as contacting the courier. In many places couriers will use their own cash to pay for the order, so the restaurant gets the payment immediately.
> I'm very curious where the current hype for a Web 3.0 originated from.

It is from the crypto fans. Mostly from several web3 related blockchain projects and they all have invested in Ethereum after missing Bitcoin, so they need to hype something else.

Before it was ICOs, then DAOs, DeFi, NFTs and now it is Web3.

The hype is just amplified as the price and euphoria keeps climbing which is why you see lots of these people screaming Web3 because they have already invested in those projects and creating FOMO around it, by bringing in more influencers on board; hence the urgency that the author of the article detests.

Right now, the fundamentals in several blockchain projects are not suitable for web3 to scale to what is advertised by the crypto fans. It's clear that it needs more time to mature.
Also interesting is how, given that, we still have slow and unresponsive software that often isn't doing much more than we did 40 years ago.
Thank you. Everyone has up days and down days. Some of them can even be kind of extreme like not wanting to get out of bed. Variation is normal, we are not robots.
Not a big deal compared to actually being cut off with the current pressure on basic necessities.
It's so obvious what the real solution is now that you have laid it out like this. Your use-case was never best fit through YouTube. Doing so was always harmful to getting the job done, it's just even worse now.

Your use-case was always best fit through the Home Improvement/DIY StackExchange site[0], where an answer is a link to a YouTube video. You can then easily compare different videos, comment and dislike them, and the best videos for that use-case would get to the top of the page.

This may very well be a repeat of Digg 4.0. If we can get the word out that everyone should move their queries from asking YouTube to asking StackExchange, the entire space can be improved over-night. It's all already waiting for us.

They don't need to. They may, if they value whatever they would get in the transaction more than the costs.
You don't need a covid19 test now to drive into the USA. You do need to be fully vaccinated and to declare you have no symptoms. This is new with the border re-opening for non essential travel just about a week ago.

You do need a covid19 test (quick antigen test is OK) to fly from Canada to the US.

You do need a PCR covid19 test taken within the past 72 hours to re-enter canada by land or air, per CBSA requirements.
I've been looking for a no-code solution to quickly build webapps on top of APIs exposed for mobile apps. I've been documenting OpenAPI specs[0], and evaluated most Nocode solutions in the market, trying out the "Rest API" integration in all of them.

Did the same for Budibase, and here's some feedback (on just the REST API integration):

1. Please link the (?) icon to the correct place in the docs. eg, if I'm on the REST screen, it makes more sense to send me to https://docs.budibase.com/quickstart-tutorials/crud-app-with..., instead of https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/discussions/

2. Provide html input placeholders in all fields. Understanding whether "Url" field refers to the base URL, or a complete endpoint URL (different platforms treat this differently) is confusing. Even things like whether or not it needs a trailing slash. Having a placeholder with a standard API (such as OpenAPI Pets example) makes it easier.

3. The Jinja template format is great (I don't think any other platform came close to what this simple solution does) - but it isn't documented well enough. The API endpoint creation form should guide me to it as a possibility - without me having to look for it.

4. Really liked the auto-schema detection.

5. The forms really need to be more explanatory. ("Parameters" could refer to HTTP body parameters, or REST API parameters, but it's unclear)

6. Rough edges such as [1] should either be fixed, or automatically be disallowed.

As an aside, I'm curious why the entire nocode industry docs are on GitBooks.

Yes, client side applications use npm as well.
I think the major roadblock is the fact that bitcoin was conceived as anarcho-capitalist money, and for it to succeed anarcho-capitalism would have to succeed. And that's not going to happen, because anarcho-capitalism is not viable way of organising a society. It should be obvious to anyone who has delved into the literature.
Forks WA is currently completely inaccessible by car. Extensive flooding everywhere. All highways and roads are closed. Connecting forest service roads have washed out.
Reader and similar plugins have it easy on 90s websites. It's the 2010s onwards you have to worry about.
But from the average programmer's perspective this is clearly something they want. I see this general trend as a symptom of the inadequacy of JS to out-of-the-box address the tasks it's used for, which (as we note here) opens an outlet for spamming and security liabilities.
Outside of things that need to be extremely secure like my AWS account password I usually prefer readable random words passwords over random text. Even random 2 word passwords usually surpass 20 characters especially after adding in numbers and special characters most sites require.

It's a lot nicer being able to check if I typed in my Peacock login at my parents home at a glance versus a string of random characters.

One of my family members has been stuck just east of Hope, British Columbia[1] for almost two days now. There is currently no cell service, but luckily they have a Garmin inReach so we can communicate via its SMS feature.

For anybody with friends/family in the area, the BC subreddit megathread[2] on this is a good starting place to get information on evacuations, power outage status, road closures, official relevant Twitter accounts, etc.

Are your employees required to have their webcam uncovered? How do you monitor the screenshots of your employees, assuming you have many and they are all doing various tasks (possibly taking breaks) all throughout the day?

I find this all this fascinating, coming from my own managerial standpoint that as long as my employees are getting their work done on time, there isn't really a problem.
Agreed on the data point likely showing a greater expected benefit relative to where they are.

It wouldn't exactly show that women "recover better" versus men, which was your original wording, but that is not perhaps the most important point - I'm more trying to tease out nuance than argue against you.

One factor confusing the issue is that a number of reasons mentioned in the thread, such as cancer, remarriage, and access to children, are not particularly relevant to your argument.

The original post of this thread said divorce was lose-lose and that men are the biggest losers. My point, perhaps clumsily made, was that it is possible that some men take advantage of a relatively strong position in a bad marriage. So even though they lose from the divorce itself more, the increased initiation from women may partly represent a relative weakness within the marriage leading to women losing more in a bad marriage prior to initiating divorce (and men gambling that they won't divorce due to the costs involved).

That still feels clumsily expressed, but I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. Again it's an attempt to add a little more nuance to the overall analysis here.
Maybe decentralized needs to be valued against the (possibly negative) value of centralized authority?

Similar to how air quality, other natural resources are frequently not taken into account during the manufacturing of goods or services, so we may end up with a Tragedy of the Commons situation; If proportional effective causes and their constituent values are not taken into account, then the value cannot be correctly ascertained.
> what advantage do I get from the compute cost of gradient descent over random sampling?

Random sampling becomes prohibitive in higher dimensions due to the curse of dimensionality [0]. Gradient descent doesn't have this problem and will always converge to a local (but, as can be seen here, not necessarily an absolute) minimum.

The step size effectively controls how far from the "real" local minimum you can get: too big a step size and you end up repeatedly "jumping over" the minimum.

I don't think the GTK team is all that bad, the majority of them are solid people with a good head on their shoulders. It seems that GNOME is where they sent the self-righteous loonies though.
Most attacks on passwords these days are credential stuffing, not brute force.

This means that password rules REDUCE the amount of work an attacker has to do, as they can omit previously breached usernames/passwords which don't meet the password rules for the site being attacked. This means they can try more logins before getting rate-limited.
Take off your shoes and put on this mask, has a nice symmetry don't you think?
What a surprise. A study involving a gaming company shows that games are good for you.

Studies funded by tobacco companies in the 1950s found that smoking cigarettes is good for you as well.
That’s not a great example. There’s plenty of fat successful Dota players - xinq most recently (and historical as well).
Ethereum is moving to a new algorithm that will reduce energy consumption by 99.95%. This is happening in a matter of months.

Asking about use-cases for crypto is like asking for use-cases for the internet in the 90s. It's so general purpose that there isn't a specific use-case to sell you on but instead a set of smaller use-cases that add up to a large use-case.

For example, I would love for charities to be built on crypto. Many of the larger charities only use a small percentage of their funds on the problem they're trying to solve. I'd love to see exactly what my charitable donation is being used for. Luckily crypto is public and therefore publicly auditable.

I could list off similar use-cases and each one doesn't seem to be a big deal. But put together it's a huge change in how we view the world.

And as for your other arguments like crime, these don't match up with actual data. Crypto being public is a large turn-off for criminals so they tend to prefer cash instead.
Even better, you can provide support for gaming cards and then the community pays you for them instead of you having to pay for it out of dev-rel budget.

And yet AMD is actively moving in the opposite direction and dropping support for older hardware from both their Windows driver, as well as from ROCm and their other compute software.

It's hard to overstate what a positive impact gaming card support and donations of hardware to educational institutions and other devrel have been for CUDA - those are the people who are writing the next 10 years of your software, that sells the actual enterprise hardware. And at this point it's not just "can't afford to support it", AMD is doing fine these days, they just don't want to. Kind of baffling.
They just lost me as an user. Used it as primary browser for a couple of years, but adding this NFT scam stuff and crypto has forced me off of it. sigh
Appreciate the explanation. Good to know what happens under the hood.
Lots of people commute daily for work, in large part because Vancouver is no unaffordable. It's a massive headache, and that's why it's such big news.

Taking a PCR test every 2 days just to be able to get to/from work is ridiculous. Especially since only one side is requiring it.
So does that make an accidental full table scan an expensive operation from a billing standpoint?

Like others say, the end user doesn’t have a lot of control over how the query planner does its magic. They do have control over what goes into and out of the system though.

That being said things like Google BigQuery bill by compute time and data examined so I guess that works as long as the price per “unit” is on the order of millicents or something.
> The (unstated) point of the shield is to allow a NATO nuclear first-strike to go through without retaliation. The current shield is probably not enough to ensure Russia's military could be crippled with that first strike, but future versions of the shield may get there.

You do realize that if a nuke goes off in the atmosphere anti-missile-tracking becomes impossible? (good luck doing radar, thermal or anything else...)

So anti-missile only works for preventing a very small first strike... (or a mistake or anything of the sort)

Now, I would wager that something like Starlink where each satellite has anti-missile tech could prevent a first strike with ballistic missiles.

Then you have missiles that hug the ground... those are impossible to detect or destroy... Radar needs some ground clearance, their speed also makes it had to detect in time and stop.

As for the rest I'll try and read and fetch citations, but Russian anti-air are effective in downing stealth aircraft and most aircraft. (see Serbia in the 90s...), SR-71 or others which fly too fast might not be stoppable but those can't really cause too much harm.

> The USA has more active personnel than Russia, and Turkey (a NATO member) is another large military by active personnel. Technology wise, NATO is also far ahead (those budgets again).

How do you move those to Russia's border and do logistics? :), also I'm not sure about that... but will take your word for it.

> Budget accounts for a lot.

Sure... but forced draft + cheap weapons have won wars in the past...
You're not totally wrong; I'm getting into that age range.

It's not that I prefer those tools; they are really obtuse. It's just that I can't handle the moving target of JavaScript. I'm sure I can figure out esbuild just fine, but in a year or two it could be abandoned in favor of swc or Vite or a Vite-esbuild-swc uber package.
