> avoid stating the almost-obvious...

I feel it's in the nature of communication to avoid stating the obvious and only becomes problematic when what's obvious to the sender is not to the receiver.

Paradoxically while too much obviousness makes a statement banal, being the first to explicitly state what's obvious to everyone is extremely insightful... :)
> activities that are today carried out by government agencies, states or lawyers. Anyone who has ever bought a property in central Europe knows how much money has to be spent on trustees and notaries. If such transactions can be carried out in a secure way between buyer and seller without an intermediary

So if the system in those countries could be thoroughly reformed to work totally differently than it does today... Then why couldn't it just be thoroughly reformed to work more like it does in Western or Northern Europe today, where it works with a lot less hassle even without blockchain?
I would never do it like this if I only had pen and paper but I admit the animation is pretty awesome :)

So the answer I have isn't exactly what you're looking for, which I think is an algorithmic/machine learning architecture that can transfer concepts found in problems.

Just wanted to share for anyone interested that there is in depth research and theory developed in cognitive science concerning the way people use what the field calls conceptual blending to make sense of unfamiliar subjects with familiar concepts. Maybe it's worth taking inspiration from!

Your assessment of the properties of the display specifically seem to go counter what I perceived as a convincing argument by the OLPC guy brought up in a TED talk at the time, namely, that the two biggest cost factors of a new laptop are marketing and the display unit. He then argued that the project can largely just do away with marketing altogether (plausible) and went on to say that even displays that come out of production with a single pixel error have a massively reduced price tag. From that I concluded that the project could reasonably build cheap hardware if only they went with no advertising and run-of-the-mill display units that narrowly failed quality checks.

Nothing in that talk hinted at the possibility that instead of opting for a established and proven technology like LCD they'd choose to go with RDF (reality distortion field) displays instead.

I feel being lied to.
> “vintage blacks” because the plastics have been smoothed out after a lot of use.

No this is not why people want the older Cherry MX switches. The older MX switches used less worn-out molds and/or different plastic, and were much smoother straight out of the factory than MX switches from a few years ago which are quite scratchy feeling when new (this may have improved more recently, I’m not sure).

> my AEK and AEK IIs with creams and salmons that don’t feel so hot today

Feeling scratchy is very common for 25-year-old MX keyboards as well, and other kinds of keyboards. Stuff that sits on a shelf or table (not in a box) for decades collects a lot of dirt inside. Alps also applied some kind of lubricant to the slider in the factory, which may not be there anymore. Alps switches might be a bit more susceptible to scratchiness from decades of dust inside than MX switches because the slider slides against 1 or 2 leaf springs which provide resistance; in linear MX switches the slider is only moving up and down in a plastic channel and scraping a bit against the sides but the resistance is all provided by a helical spring.

(You could probably improve your key feel by disassembling all of the switches, putting the parts in an ultrasonic cleaner, and applying some lubricant when re-assembling them. You might not consider that to be worth the effort though.)

But I would generally expect both of your keyboards to be electrically quite reliable (at least at the switch level, with a very clean signal across each switch, not much chatter).

If a keyboard is stored for an extended time with key(s) depressed, it can end up deforming the springs. Deformation of the leaf springs can reduce the switch resistance and tactile snap in Alps switches; you can try to restore this by bending the leaf springs outward yourself, but it is pretty tricky to make them consistent.

I also have an AEK keyboard which stayed in a box somewhere sealed for 25 years or whatever, and is amazing today.

I like both of them. I think yours is definitely more comprehensive and robust as a teaching tool, but there is something cool about watching the matrices overlay each other in a smooth transition.
The author didn't even read the Hello World section of the Zig Reference Manual that (of course) has an example of printing.
You say that, and I usually agree, I mean, constructor args are the simplest form of DI.

But then, working in a complex codebase, I introduce a new dependency that is instantiated early in the tree, used two disparate classes rather deep in the tree, suddenly I'm changing 10 different constructors just to get the new dependency where it needs to be.

The tree of constructors is where DI shines as an alternative.

The article is conflating 'Windsor soup' (referring to a number of soup recipes created by Windsor chefs) and 'Brown Windsor soup' in one article, and even starts of with both terms in bold in the introductory paragraph. The second sentence literally states:

> While commonly associated with the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the practice of calling it 'Brown Windsor' did not emerge until at least the 1920s, […]

The article is written around this vague 'it'; a soup that according to Wikipedia has Victorian origins, but wasn't called brown Windsor soup until the 1920s. If Hughes was right, than the article shouldn't treat brown Windsor soup as synonymous with 'Windsor soup', but clearly mark it as a special case with a curious history that doesn't seem to go back further than the 1920 at the earliest.
Yep, but if you have to change 5 constructors to get a new dependency to where it needs to be, calling `new` yourself starts to suck.

I highly doubt it. There's only so much capacity per base station, so the amount of base stations needed would be prohibitive in urban settings.

I honestly don't think this is a serious plan even by cell companies, except in rural settings. That isn't to say that they won't dupe some number of urban dwellers into it, too. Enough to earn some money, not enough to overload capacity.

The word "adult" is used once in that post and in context it is about how a 12 year old thought the comics were meant for adults. Where do you get the idea that Miller's reputation is "comics for adults"? The author, for example, read them as a child. My impression is that mostly these comics are read by teen boys. If your impression is that they are read by adults then I suppose one of us would need to bring in some data to break the impasse. If I wanted to research it I would use the Google ad word tool to check the demographics of who searches for "Frank Miller" and his different comic books.

Miller's comics are known to be "gritty", violent, whatever. That's his style. The author liked it when she was a child and doesn't like it having grown up. That seems not too remarkable to me.

> Why are people like you so damn negative about this and so deliberately intent in disrupting society when it's in such a state of stress? Why are so many of you so intent in trying to undermine and sabotage the rest of us when we're doing our darndest to try and protect ourselves from this cursed disease?

It is pretty simple, actually.

When facing a critical situation one need to (A) do as much as possible to rectify it, and (B) don't do anything that counter- or non-productive in the context. In other words, all resources must be thrown into useful action and none into useless. People are generally not bad judges of what is entirely counterproductive. No-one is wearing the seatbelts while riding the bicycle, or wearing condom outside of specific situation, "just in case" they may not have time to put it on. To "us" - I think I may identify with your "people like you" - the stuff from (B) is a sign that situation is not that critical, if we still can afford being frivolous. Remember, trust, goodwill and compliance are resources just like everything else.

So, in case of this cursed disease we had the following measures implemented, among many:

- 9-5 curfew in VIC, AU, summarily for 5 or 6 months out of the last 20. I'm sensing that you may be familiar with that.

- Mandatory face coverings even when solo walking in the middle of nowhere. According to Premier, "we cannot afford to discuss the alternative, too esoteric"

- 5km limit of movement. So one couldn't go for a beach walk with kids, but junkies could go to the city's "injection room" because it is "essential medical care".

All the above was imposed with total confidence ("You cannot argue with super-computer!" - literal quote from the Premier), backed by riot police with rubber bullets. And then fought tooth and nail in the court to not reveal the "health advice" behind it, because, apparently, it is "not in the public interest".

In the absence of the explanation about how the above contribute to disease protection it is not clear for "us" why it is on "us" to keep patience and be "considerate", but not on the "authorities" to do their job and think about outcome of their actions. I cannot imagine a malady that can be meaningfully alleviated with curfew or solo mask wearing. I cannot reason about lives saved by my family not going for a remote bushwalk. I can imagine that such things may be useful for intimidation and humiliation - not a good way to foster trust, isn't it? I, personally, would be more receptive to authorities' calls if they listened and, maybe, did not do things which are openly hostile and otherwise useless. You know, if they are "reasonable" and "considerate"!
Thats not the norm, we have at least 2 phases to our stovetop, and Iv'e never encountered any kind of power limit, even when using the "boost" mode on several pans at the same time.

We used to live in an apartment with single phase, there we had to somewhat limit the induction top to about 5,5kW and once again I practically never enocuntered it maxing out.
> I'm in an enterprise and have successfully lobbied people to use anything other than Spring.

I was in a team that used Spring Boot for a greenfield project. The documentation was great, there was tons of help of Stackoverflow (as it's Spring) and the consideration given to testing was first class. Deployment was also easy, as we just created a fat JAR. No application server necessary.

It was a great place to work.

From the article:

> But moderators frequently intervene, delaying posting by days or weeks, reclassifying papers or even outright rejecting submissions.

Definitely not my experience. I haven't posted to arXiv in a while now, but I wasn't even aware a moderation queue exists -- none of my papers were delayed, reclassified, or other...

EDIT: I see the article provides a few examples, but then they also provide numbers: "At arXiv, roughly 6 percent of submissions receive a hold, and about 2 percent are rejected." -- 8% of heavy-handed moderation intervention wouldn't qualify as "frequently" IMHO.

Why does it matter that it is merged into an extension that will become core, or it was already core at inception?

It is hard to get everything right at once, so starting small is not bad, imo. Wayland has a really sane way of extension querying so it is not like clients will suffer due to these — they are already written in a way to query the capabilities.

> Why would you even bother making Emacs look like Kakoune?

Because somebody wanted the Kakoune core editor behavior combined with the world of features emacs gives you.

Somebody found this useful. Would you have preferred that this person didn't do any of this at all?

> and b) making it do things unrelated to editing text.

Yes. Unlike vim and kakoune and others, emacs is much more than a text editor.

> There is no focus.

What focus? Somebody wanted to do this for themselves. There's no "emacs, inc" that sets the focus that all devs follow. This is how free software works.

> It's good that it can do a lot but it doesn't do any of those things well

I'm going to go out on a limb, and guess you aren't an emacs user? It does most of those things fantastically well.
It's not faith, it's trust, the difference being that trust can be broken and must be earned, faith relies on absolute adherence.

You require zero faith to trust in the scientific community, because you can "spot check" what you learn at any point, if you decide you want to. It takes a lot less effort than you may initially think, to independently verify certain aspects of even complex scientific advancement.

Consider even something as simple as ibuprofen; you're "spot checking" modern medicine when you take it and verify it reduces your fever or lowers your pain.

Or when you make a phone call with your cell phone. You're "spot checking" a whole host of physics just be reliably receiving and sending signals from your cell phone; if any of the theory were wrong, your phone would not work. That's not faith, that's trust, because you have direct evidence of accuracy in what you've been told. It's probably not even worth getting into how much you're "spot checking" science by simply opening up Google Maps and seeing how accurately it determines where you are!

I must repeat; zero percent of western understanding of hard or soft sciences require faith of any kind to be useful.

Someone who is a flat-earther is probably also someone who isn't concerned about getting a 100% A+ on their homework and tests.

The kids who question the system of schooling are the ones who are doing it appropriately. We don't need to make a 100% A+ incorporate questioning indoctrination, we need to make people not so concerned about getting 100% A+.

In the UK, 80%+ comprehension is considered an A.
For me, online dating worked out, but it took a long time, was a bumpy road. I found that having a great group of friends also helped me. After college I moved to a new city and a corporate job with a skewed gender ratio, which made it tough to meet people, and probably made me a less desirable mate (having thin social connections). When I moved back closer to home, to people I knew, and found a job at a smaller company I enjoyed, things fell into place — even people you meet online will need to fit into your irl life eventually.
> Modular arithmetic is perfectly well-defined.

Yes (and thanks for the link!), I was in fact thinking more of this non-UB case (not signed overflow UB) as an example of where it's clearly defined as wraparound but can be chained into an exploit nevertheless, not technically UB but a vulnerability nevertheless. Not all exploits bother to go as far as a UAF. Unchecked arithmetic can be low hanging fruit.

> That didn't surprise me at all

It surprises me that Rust doesn't just enable checked arithmetic by default with an opt-out for performance, rather than enabling it by default for performance with an opt-out for safety. Zig's choice here is the safer choice from a security perspective.

An "existential menace" does not mean "the existence of threat", and 9/11 was not and did not presage any kind of existential threat. It is in fact a "sheltered" thing to think it is, and that it is uniquely so in America; minority communities in the US did and still regularly face existential threats, and suffer loss of innocent lives as a result of them.

I don't think so. We're already burying Netflix in this comment section, and cable still exist. Look at any sporting events, just how much more ads can it have? They have sponsored content plastered everywhere, and then, the exclusive broadcasting rights are sold to the highest bidder, so if you care about sports, you have to watch it on that exact one platform. And yet, it's very popular. So no I don't think people would move. People, in general, want things, and weigh in how much it also affects them negatively. They'll defer, deny, ignore, whatever it takes to participate in that "want". And the providers of that "want" know exactly this and ram as much profitable negativity in there as they can, and cover it up as much as they can. And people on the receiving end will tolerate. That's how ads will stay, with a combination of legality and applied psychology.
most cs programs have an undergraduate course called "cs theory" or "computability" which is usually some introduction to some theory behind language definition and language parsing followed by abstract models for computation (turing machines) and finally explorations of what's "computable." (google for "computability theory automata books" for a bunch of different texts)

the last one (what's computable) forms the basis for a lot of (all?) cryptography and is filled with all sorts of really fun and not at all hard to master proofs that are just reductions at their core.
