It's also common for people to accept defaults without substantial customization. That's why the algorithms matter. Some people will deliberately seek out rage-bait even if the default algorithm delivers just-the-facts news and heartwarming pictures from friends' families. Most won't. Also, most people won't customize their settings to eliminate rage-bait if that's what gets prioritized by algorithmic defaults.
yes it is, but it is also less effective, since users can easily use DNS over TLS to get around these measures. With SNI based blocking their only choice is proxying/VPNing which is much harder and less accessible.

But many types do have a "natural" zero value, that you may want to use, beyond just the numbers. Consider the empty string, empty list, empty dictionary, empty set. Those are zero values for their types. By reserving them as pseudo-nulls you lose the ability to distinguish between an object which happens to be empty and an object which is meant to mean "null". This is where Optional (or similar mechanisms) come in handy. If you actually want to avoiding creating null, Optional is a cleaner and more consistent way to accomplish this without needing to magic up a null-value in your type's valid set of values or create a one-off Optional (MaybeDictionary, MaybeList).
> Half of the population is below average intelligence

Maybe the real problem is that everyone assumes they're in the other half. Or possibly that intelligence and wisdom are the same thing.

I guess what I'm saying is that I would generally agree with your post if it weren't for this statement. I don't think intelligence really has anything to do with the problem as even a lot of otherwise 'intelligent' people have engaged with today's bullshit conspiracy theories and nonsense.
Honda charges something like US$15 for a CR2032 for the key fob.

The person who was dealing with my car was too embarrassed to charge me, so I got it for free. Still, it makes me want to rethink my relationship with Honda.

It seems that Toyota might not be the way either.
But sea levels haven't increased very much in either of those places (yet). Certainly not enough to be responsible for the observed effect.

What happens is the freshwater aquifers are drained giving the salt/brackish water space to intrude.
I cover what most people do which is either using build tools on a production server or building containers without them. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't talk _specifically_ about this.

Basically you need to build your .so files beforehand and then copy them over. If you use the same system as your target you can just copy gems' files around.

A good approach (which we did at Red Hat) is to repackage gems as RPMs and then install them as other system packages. But it's a lot of work. Fedora has a whole default Rails stack packaged, though.
This is a stellar example of how catering to everyone results in the destruction of a brand. “HDMI 2.1” will be with us for years and it’s essentially irrelevant now, and they aren’t willing to admit they were wrong, so their only hope is to release an HDMI 2.2 that is just “all of the optional features of HDMI 2.1 are now required”, which will cause howls of outrage and confusion. I’m guessing they are too captive to manufacturers to have the courage to do that. Oh well.

And do it with the same power envelopes as AMD! I can't run a 12600K without upgrading my PSU but a 5600X sips power and runs just fine. New Intel chips are exciting but not practical when it comes to power, cost, and availability not to mention lack of motherboards in the SFF space.

Yes, you should. At least the first book. Even if you don't adhere to the philosophy/politics in the book, it's really quite an entertaining story and it's indeed far, far better than the movie.
Large corporations, operating at a scale much closer to that of governments

Excellent point-- as a company's market penetration (at least in some cases) approaches a significant part of the population, the difference between government (in the sense of a public service) and private company becomes less and less distinguishable for the power held over customers.

Not unlike the situation that occured with Bell Telephone where it became such an essential part of day to day life for most people that the control it had was on par with being a branch of the US government itself. It was a shame about Bell Labs though. They still did some good work after the breakup but that whole organization just seemed to fade away from its former glory. Though maybe they'll eventually flourish again under Nokia.
Ask HN: What happened to the technology behind BitTorrent Bleep?
From ~2013-2015, Bittorrent had launched the interesting product Bittorrent Bleep (proprietary program[0]) which allowed for encrypted and decentralized P2P communication. While the actual product was questionable due to it being proprietary from a company with checkered track record (see the comments in the most active HN thread about the product[1]), the technology itself seemed quite interesting and promising compared to the many siloed communication platforms that were around at the same time. Yet, it appears that Bittorrent Bleep was discontinued and today prominent communication platforms, like Signal[3], have encryption but remain centralized. What happened to the technology behind Bittorrent Bleep? Does a communication platform with the same idea, P2P with encryption and decentralization, have a modern champion?

So that free Ampere instance performs slightly better than my i7-10850H on single-core, and just 10% slower on multi-core (and that's considering my i7-10850H has 6 cores, while the Ampere has only 4 cores!!!).
We’ve created the lawless environment that attracted them to our cities. They weren’t coerced to come here, we enticed them to come here.
There were people in a thread on Reddit saying they have cars with $40/month of subscription services. That seems absolutely insane to me.

My family buys used cars, usually in the 3-5 year old range, we do our own repair work, and drive everything for 10-15 years. It's usually close to 15 than 10. We drive them until they drop.

I figured it out one day and the lifetime TCO has been about $100/month per vehicle.

We really, really need legislation that says advertised features can't require an ongoing subscription. The whole scheme of giving the original buyer a "free trial" that lasts long enough that they'll sell the vehicle is just a tactic to seek rent in the secondhand market. The thing is, there are a lot of people buying second hand because they don't have money to waste.

How do you pull yourself up by the bootstraps if the bootstraps require a subscription you can't afford?
I read a quote once, paraphrasing:

> geek will figure out cars before car people figure out computers

Between this and similar issues (e.g. Porsche / BMW charging subscription to their updating map data), it’s clear how true that quote was.

Not only are they massively losing to Tesla, they don’t even know they’re losing, or why. This is what you get when you hire MBAs and consultants.
F-Droid is your best bet. It is pretty much the only viable alternative for those that wish to avoid Google services for privacy.
You can keep rearranging words around trying to make reality fit your expectations, but I'd say this isn't a useful modeling strategy for going about life. This is what you're missing.
We can do better than a link to a Reddit thread with a screenshot of some text. I found this on GameFAQs slightly modified from the original and posted the day after, on 2013-06-16.

Even if your code doesn't directly use Log4j, it's exceedingly likely that a library you use, or a library that uses does.
The topic with the TVs is going to be a problem for me in a few years. My current TV is from 2013 - it may have some years to go, but at some point, it will fail.

I've had a short look at the market, and all the "good" brands (Samsung, LG, Sony) show horrific ads. It looks like the cheap brands simply sell your data. Then there are some local brands, which sell non-TV TV's (no tuner, there's a tax on that). They don't have any smarts at all, but the one I've seen had terrible picture quality
Sales people, just like recruiters have a job to do. I just recognise there's another person on the other end doing their job, so there's ways to tell them in a friendly way that you are not interested without being overly rude or smug about it.

Was using a few paid apps for various automation tasks on OS X:

- Hazel for automated tasks
- Mosaic for layout shortcuts
- Moom for layout grid drawing

Since discovering spacehammer, was able to use it to replace all those tools. Even had the opportunity to create one of my dream features: Can highlight any code sample in a browser or most other apps, press leader-t and select the tmux session to send the code, turning just about any page into a repl driven workflow.

A few years back I started contributing to spacehammer and refactored it to use a centralized config to make it easier for people to jump in and customize the menu and features.

Lua is ok to me but much prefer lisp languages like fennel, code feels more expressive and faster to produce using paredit lisp editing shortcuts in my editor.
In this case, the memory pointer for Vec3 would not be null? It will be a defined memory address which points to 3 zeros. I think it's a difference of objects and primitive data types.

Just the thought I'll have to learn about this while HDMI disaster in order to not get burned gives me anxiety.

There is a difference between defining absolute truth and identifying obvious lies.

What people "need", in the sense I used the term, and what people /want/, are not the same thing, Chris. And what people /do/ is a third thing, because it takes knowledge and notion of an option to take it.

Product optimality and market offer, "efficient" and "available", "need" and "want", do not overlap. People do not "need" palm assistants that work as mirrors (glossy displays): they buy them. One can eat mud for ignorance or for lack of alternatives.

I'm not knowledgeable about your market or how your product works, just interested in technology and discussions here, so take this at face value.
To me your product looks like a service. I'm skeptical of any service that is a one-time payment versus some type of subscription. With a subscription I'm inclined to believe there's maintenance. With a one-time payment, I'm inclined to believe that either the product isn't sustainable without growth, will become ad-supported, or will fold.

> Common courtesy would go a long way.

I don't believe this applies to salesmen, though. They're trained to exploit all holes related to human decency and courtesy. They expect a polite person will not reject an invitation (to a meeting they absolutely don't need and which serves only one party) and so on.
As harsh as I am on humanity, it's not entirely people's fault. We have primate emotions that have been grossly outpaced by our technological development. This is why I've become somewhat anti-technology despite still working on technology because it stretches us to lifestyles that are distinctly inhuman.

Humanity simply does not have the emotional capacity to handle the technology we create. It never has and never will, and it's just that software has greatly amplified this inability. This is why mental disorders are skyrocketing. We're building emotional prisons with technological walls and bars.
Yeah but it is also human nature to fuck as much as possible but we have rules and laws against things like rape to control those tendencies. Just because we are naturally inclined to do something does not necessarily mean that it is best for us

Suburban 7-11’s for example get a lot of foot traffic in the US. Much of it is from teens, but where available people end up including a stop while walking their dogs or doing other kinds of exercise.

High enough density to have a locals within ~1/2 mile, and or a location where people stop on their way to or from work are how you keep prices reasonable. It’s never directly competitive with Walmart etc but being much closer is a real advantage.

How is this different than a large store like a supermarket where you buy food? The only difference I see is one of geographical barriers, and I don't see how that should fundamentally change the dynamics of how to appropriately deal with inappropriate or disruptive behavior.
There's also a tendency for a lot of Cybersecurity type software to use java and log4j. Things like SAML, SSO, code scanning, etc. I'm fighting a bit of schadenfreude watching all of those vendors furiously trying to get their stories together.

Cmov is, and was, efficient whenever branch prediction is unreliable.

Clang will turn eligible ?: expressions into cmov. Gcc will do no more than one of those per basic block, subject to fragile conditions. Gcc got its fingers badly burned by overuse of cmov. [Edit: I am wrong! Gcc would not do it when I was trying. More research needed.]

Generally, branches break dependency chains, enabling more implicit speculative parallelism. Older cores stuck cmov ops onto dependency chains, where more recently they are treated more like branches. That gives you less speculative evaluation, but consumes less state that would be discarded on a mis-predicted branch.

Again, though, Linux needing that stuff[1] doesn't explain why BSD happened, which needed different stuff. clang needed other stuff still. But... they all got their stuff!

It's a Jurassic Park point, really: life will find a way. Free software beat the world already, and it really strains logic to argue that that only happened because of a giant phonebook filled with special advantages for every individual piece. The much simpler theory is that it was clearly going to happen regardless.

[1] In fact that's really not the way it happened anyway. Linux on whitebox PCs was dominant in the early internet world for pure cost reasons, long before any corporate names got behind it, and that leveraged it into datacenter environments where it became clear people were willing to pay real money. Red Hat's IPO was well in the past and Google had launched on custom Linux motherboards long, long before Oracle or IBM got serious about the OS.
Can you give links to some one-sided conversations? I don't see many of those.
Indeed, people are very excited here. The majority strongly believes that the previous politicians somehow stole so much of their money that their lives became miserable. The new government promises to fix this and eliminate 100% of the corruption - we are yet to see exactly how this will be achieved.

I think people are paying attention to things for longer spans. You can lose hours to superficial content on tiktok or YouTube, but you can also fill hours of your days with lectures and podcasts and audiobooks. Everyone I know under the age of 70 has binged their favorite shows, watching 6 or more hourlong episodes in a sitting. Minecraft players can lose themselves for a day, easily, paying attention to the game for 12+ hours.

Look at the typical response of young people to TV ads - they find the rapid switching and interruptions infuriating. They'll have watched many hourlong episodes of their favorite show, maybe repeatedly, and be able to tell you the story in detail.

I don't think there's an attention span problem, there's a short-circuited attention problem that sucks people into wasting time on superficial content.

Less time reading isn't necessarily a bad thing if our lives are being enriched through other media. Not everything has to be deliberative study. There's a balance to be found between reading, silent contemplation, entertainment or educational audiovisual content, and so on. Going down a YouTube rabbit hole of superficial content is still paying attention, it's just not good for you.

I think there's a lot of subliminal conditioning of attention in people who engage with modern media, and it's easy to have your attention captured, but you can turn that around by being deliberate in your choice of a playlist, or selection of a playlist, and not allowing a third party the ability to choose content for you.
