It’s funny how different it can be for different people.

I switch regularly between macOS and Fedora, and have windows on a ssd for gaming.
I agree on the Command vs. CTRL bindings thing. It’s annoying when switching between the two systems.

I recently wanted to pick up unity, and decided to try it on windows. I have to say, as strongly as you find macOS annoying I find windows annoying. Fx system settings, for some reason when I have to change something it takes me ages to navigate through the UI to find what I’m looking for.
But maybe it’s all just personal preference and what one is used to.
It is convenient to add an alias for this. Mine includes

--exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.svn

(This is GNU grep specific.)

If there is no unicode setting "LC_ALL=C" can speed things up considerably too.
Looks like I need to find a new Blink-engine browser for sites that break on Firefox
I can relate to this experience. I have since worked on my pronunciation extensively, trying to expose myself to spoken English as much as possible (which nowadays with Netflix & sons is so much easier than 20 years ago). But since I learned to read English at such a young age, I can never "undo" the way I internally pronounce/read the words - I have just learned a second "overlay language" that maps my internal sound of all the words to their 'correct' pronunciations (those that are recognizable by someone who speaks English natively.)

The funny thing is, in my current work project there is a colleague who can clearly read & write English without any effort, but his pronunciation is "zero effort given". The other day, I chuckled on the way he pronounced the word "queue", which is exactly how I pronounce it myself "in my head" before I map it to the 'correct' English pronunciation. I think everybody understood what he meant, but his total disregard for the 'correct' English pronunciation rules is admirable.

Thanks! Reading my comment again it's clear I had a brain fart during writing the comment but I was indeed trying to solve: find b such that (a + b) % n == 1.

Of course, assume a and n are relatively prime.

Then this is equivalent to finding a b such that (a % n + b % n) % n == 1.

We already know that 0 < a % n < n so simply picking b = n + 1 - a % n works. In fact, b = zn + 1 - a % n for any positive integer z works.

Your solution makes sense to me too but I wonder if I'm missing something obvious above?
> The MacOS method of using the Command button is different for the sake of being different, not for any actual productive reason.

I’m actually pretty sure the Mac’s Command key predates ctrl being used for this purpose.
In continental Europe I have often been in a room with people from 10 different countries say Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Poland, India, China, Korea, England.
Everyone could understand each other's broken English with the exception that half of the people couldn't understand English guy.
What always puzzle me is the fact that the English doesn't consider that the room language isn't their mother tongue and they should also try to speak this universal dialect that everyone understands.
Also the more vulgar “I’m shitting myself (a little)” (“estou-me (um bocado) a cagar”)
They don’t have to be what you described. The BSV network does more transactions each day than any other network at a magnitude less cost. Less cost in both user end and CO2.

More or less what happens in Firefly, though it's not explored in detail.
I'd love to see some discussion about ring learning with errors (RLWE). It can have similar applications with oblivious transfer (which is covered) but in a recent work meeting my colleagues found RLWE to be more suitable for the particular problem we were solving.
I’m perpetually amazed how well Finland is ran. It’s just a country with its shit frozen together.

It’s a particular comparison point for me, as it has a similar (vaguely) recent history to Poland, having regained its independence in 1918, and living in Russia’s shadow most of that time. The difficult, exploitative years under the Russian thumb are usually blamed for most of the mess in Poland right now. Clearly there is another way.
She got an exit visa to the USA, yet had to smuggle rubbles? Something doesn’t add up.
Funnily enough the reverse also happens. Native Dutch speakers will use the Dutch translation of since (in the sense of "ever since") to say because (i.e. "since" in the sense of "since you didn't call, we left without you"). This is an Anglicism, because "sinds" doesn't mean that at all! Or at least, not yet :)
Are you a UI Researcher? If you are, your approach to gathering research by rebuking everyone else's opinions seems less than optimal. FWIW I prefer skeumorphic design. Flat design won because it made scaling everything easier. It doesn't need to be this way now that SVG support has become widespread
Sry, I had a brain fart again. My solution won't work, it's for a different problem. I can't delete comments from my phone and I think for the addition problem it's a reasonable solution so I'll just leave it.
I'm not sure which I find most jarring, but "should of" is definitely up there.
Roger Penrose’s The Emperors New Mind proposed this in the 1990s. He gave circumstantial possibilities, and I don’t think we know more than that now.

As an amateur, my instinct is that the mystery of the observer "causing" wave function collapse is the best clue we have either way.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we are just weighted neurons, or if we do something quantum too. I doubt the something quantum will be the same as what our quantum computers do.
It’s not a question of anecdata, but statistics. I’m sorry for your loss, but you can’t argue there’re many-many people who regret USSR is no more. Just look at the polls.
> but how do things get into the central database in the first place and how do the participants trust that the record there is good?

Either party enters them as a candidate record, including identifying the counterparty, and both acknowledge it.

Or one party creates and digitally signs a record, and sends it to the other, who digitally signs and records it in the central database that act also constituting acceptance.

Blockchain doesn't solve anything explicit in this scenario (it doesn't address lack of trust between parties better than a centralized system), what it arguably does is address lack of trust in the operator of the centralized system, if one can instead trust the aggregate of operators of the distributed system.
I think people bring up this quantum phenomenon stuff a bit too often in an attempt to add a layer of mysticism to humanity. We should only jump to that conclusion if we have some kind of proof or reason to believe so. We don’t even understand a lot of how the brain works at the macro scale yet so it’s a bit early to start saying it’s dependent on those processes (other than in the same way all physical systems are dependent on quantum phenomena.)

I’m also not a neuroscientist or a physicist though, so this is just my relative layman’s take.
The mental cost of a transaction is a really interesting point.

However, why couldn’t we have both options be available?

If there is one film on a streaming service that I know I’d like to watch, but don’t want to commit to $10 a month just to watch the first 30 mins of, why can’t I pay for the minutes of the media I watch instead?

This also could be an interesting monetization method for creators who make videos on YouTube who dislike adverts. I’d be more happy to pay to support the creators directly, if I knew they’d get a good cut.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that humans don’t like micro transactions as we’ve never been able to try it in the real world. Sure, they might not work for everything, but they may allow for new things to flourish. Things that cost $0.001 cents for example.
These are the typical use cases for key revocation yes? The key should not be installed on non suspected user devices anyway in my opinion.

Here's the thing. I don't care about their opinion. The USSR was evil. Collaborators get no sympathy from me. They could be the majority and I'd still want to overthrow that system of government. It's anti freedom.

Haven’t experienced this, not sure what you are referring to.

Also something I like. The fact that an installation is just moving an executable, is to me, superior to an entire process with regedit and what not.

As I said somewhere below, it might just come down to what one is used to and not objective facts.

Just doing some napkin math, the whole GPT-J corpus was around 500 billion tokens, which at 4 tokens per byte would be roundabout 2 Terabyte. That, parked on a fast NVMe SSD will give you roundabout 1MM random lookups per second. Even with some transfers inbetween, this should be more than enough to not just perform in equal time, but probably less — as well as cost you less than the GPU you need for the reduced size model.

Exciting times.
I don't use LSP so no clue. Best place to ask would be in an issue on the lsp plugin or in the discord.
At least four factors differentiate the two:

1. Finland had only one scary and ravenous empire near its border. Poland had two: Russia and Germany/Prussia, or even three, if you count the Austro-Hungarians.

2. Finland is much easier to defend.

3. Finland was a free, market-based country since WWII, whereas Poland had to implement the insane communist policies. So, essentially Finland had a 45-year head start over Poland in building free society and economy.

4. Finland is much less populous. It's much easier to bring wealth via industrialization to a country of 5 millions than to country of 38 millions.
> Low-res bitmap icons, bitmap fonts, no antialiasing, no composition, etc.

I don’t think that high-res icons, vector fonts, aliasing and composition meaningfully effect today’s hardware — we can and do have GPUs barely sweating on even much more demanding functionality and these are mostly parallelisable/easily cacheable things. If anything, they take up some GPU memory.

What makes some of today’s apps resource hogs is the different abstraction level which can be useful (accessibility was absolutely not something important back then and even today it is not without lack), cross-platform, but often much more leaky than it could be.
Intelligence and civilisation is not the goal of life or evolution. As long as the species is able to reproduce and is not cornered into a situation that requires adaption (as our predecessors once were) they can stay unchanged or without developing higher intelligence. Intelligence is just another tool that can be used to preserve life.
Some years ago I've been learning Japanese for about two years. I decided it's time I try speaking with natives, so I joined a Japanese Discord server and hopped in a conversation. Ended up being laughed at, made fun of, and stopped learning Japanese ever since.
Some dolphins use tools.

"In Shark Bay, Western Australia, bottlenose dolphins Tursiops sp. carry conical sponges Echinodictyum mesenterinum on their rostra in the only documented cetacean foraging behaviour using a tool" - https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v444/p143-153/

Also, octopuses: "The use of tools has become a benchmark for cognitive sophistication. Originally regarded as a defining feature of our species, tool-use behaviours have subsequently been revealed in other primates and a growing spectrum of mammals and birds [1]. Among invertebrates, however, the acquisition of items that are deployed later has not previously been reported. We repeatedly observed soft-sediment dwelling octopuses carrying around coconut shell halves, assembling them as a shelter only when needed." - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096098220...

Lastly, your terrestrial experience might limit your understanding of what a 'tool' might be: "tool users in water often use other animals (and their products) and water itself as a tool ... Octopodes, as well as squids and cuttlefishes, also use water as a tool for protection by using jets of water to aid in burrowing for camouflage ... Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) singly and collectively expel bubbles to create nets that encircle, contain and concentrate schooling prey for easy gulping " - https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rstb.201...
>it's horseradish to me (Russian)

"Horseradish" is a euphemism for "dick" (a similar sounding word). There's a different, original variant which has "dick" instead of horseradish. When you want to say "fuck you" you say "go [and sit] on the dick". The original phrase for "zero fucks given" therefore, means more like "it is around the area of the dick".
>"It’s a particular comparison point for me, as it has a similar (vaguely) recent history to Poland, having regained its independence in 1918, and living in Russia’s shadow most of that time. The difficult, exploitative years under the Russian thumb are usually blamed for most of the mess in Poland right now. Clearly there is another way."

Poland seems to be doing much better than many of the other countries which suffered behind the iron curtain. The comparable countries would seem to be the other former members of the Warsaw Pact: Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, and Romania.
Actually, my opinion is not the cattle opinion here.
True, more a matter of the intelligence resulting in dominance than the reverse. I think you could define dominant as, basically, top of the food chain - able to kill any other animal it wishes to, and able to defend itself from all others. It would certainly be possible to be dominant without high intelligence, but it seems unlikely it would be possible to be dominant over a competitor that has a significant intelligence advantage, assuming the competitor survives long enough to exploit it.

But the question is, does that mean that if such an evolutionary path is possible in a given environment, it will always eventually occur? My guess would be yes, but I'm certainly not 100% confident. ('Eventually' meaning, say, within a hundred million years. Presumably given infinite time, everything possible would occur, so that's not really interesting.)

It's not just the mistakes, when I speak with my non-standard accent or slightly incorrect phonetics the listener needs to work harder to process information, even if unconciously, and this on it's own already is detrimental or activates some bias.
Fellow Italian here.
I don't know about antirez, but the key for me was moving abroad. Not even to an English speaking country, but to a place - namely, Berlin - where Global English is the lingua franca.
Then, if you're lucky, you'll end up with a partner from another country, and maybe English will be the official language of your relationship.
My partner is Australian, so I guess I won the language-fluency lottery, but that's another story.

As Salvatore points out in his essay, you can be exposed to Internet English as much as you want, but if you live in a country like Italy there's no way you're learning day-to-day English. First, because most probably no-one in your circle of physical friends would speak English; second, because Italian is so much better at nuances, especially when it comes to anything that has to do with food, cooking, feelings, and emotions.
Yeah that makes sense. I wonder if it's actually built as two 16:9 pieces somehow.

Huh? These just sound like grievances that a user used to Windows will have when moving from Windows to macOS, but at that point it's about what you're used to, not what is inherently bad about the design.

Explorer is much worse (drives? Still can't really understand Windows file systems to this day). Sending an app to Applications/wastebin for install/uninstall is (arguable) more visually intuitive for a layperson than an install/uninstall script that most people just click "Next" without reading any of the instructions. The concept of applications having multiple windows is an OS-level thing to get used to.

I think there is a very real, uncanny valley effect (at least partially emotionally/identity grounded) with languages where it takes more experience and effort with recognizing a language (or dialect/accent) as a distinct environment requiring a code switch the more closely it resembles one you are very comfortable in, especially your native language, and especially if something about it specifically has become emotionally attached for you with your native language being spoken badly or by people of disfavored background.
We do have the horse one in french : "J'en parlerais à mon cheval". It's generaly used to reply to someone questioning, nagging or bulling you, to face slapping him a bit. I'ts a sort of self-defence tactic and can be more translated by "this is not your business" than "i don't care". In the same way we have the more aggressive ones : "Est-ce que je te demande si ta grand-mère fait du vélo ?" or "Et ta sœur, elle bat le beurre ?"
