What is sad with glibc: unable to compile it with an alternative C compiler (and the binutils). Worse, it even requires a recent gcc then only a c++ gcc have a chance to compile it (aka cannot use gcc 4.7.4, the last real C gcc, I don't think it can generate PIE code though, only PIC).
I did fork 2.33 for x86_64 as an assembly(AT&T syntax) project. I keep the glibc only because the video games are linked to it, until they properly do "libdl" their system symbols, and then should start to work with alternative C runtimes AND more recent glibc (due to GNU symbol versioning). I am lurking on musllib for open source software.
And really, those super fast changing GNU symbol versions breaking distros for recent binaries is really a pain when you play video games, this is shooting linux gaming in the foot (crooksoft must be happy).
Also it doesn't really have that much to do with Bezos himself, it's the business of the shipyard that's building his boat. They will have tendered for the contract to build the boat and that would have considered the need to get it past the bridge.
This is a fair comment and some days I admit I feel the same way.

Tell me though haven't you questioned your choices? When you were repairing the broken machines or digging that ditch on Xmas, doubt never crept in?

I am at the point where I am wondering if the doubtful times are outweighing the joyful ones these days.

But I will admit, I posed the question at a particularly "Whoa Es Me" time, still I understand what your getting at, When the going gets tough...right!?
I didn't bring up Faust or the Iliad, works that don't actually have anything resembling an 'original'. Still not sure what, specifically, this is a response to.
Also I see so many people getting upset at Bezos over this for some reason, and I really don't understand why(you know, other than hating him for all the general billionaire-level things).

The company building the yacht is governed by local laws and they got the permission to do this, not Bezos. Local city council agreed to do this, not Bezos. If a company approached a city council saying "hey we're building this huge thing, to move it out we need to temporarily dismantle a bridge for two days, we will pay 100% of the costs associated with the work".....I don't see how that's unreasonable?

I think maybe people assume that the bridge is being destroyed in the process? It really isn't.

> There are plenty of legitimate concerns about the effect of social media on individuals and societies, but as both a smoker and a former FB employee equating them is a stretch.

Your statement seems to imply that cigarettes are known to cause physical bodily harm and that Facebook does not.

This also sounds eerily like the statement Andrew Bosworth (FB exec) made:

"While Facebook may not be nicotine I think it is probably like sugar. Sugar is delicious and for most of us there is a special place for it in our lives. But like all things it benefits from moderation."

But Facebook does not just impact the user, unlike sugar. Your actions can directly impact me. So it is more like cigarettes in that regard.

The privacy implications aside, all social media is going to have negative mental health outcomes in the long run as all platform's best case scenario is for users to view more and they do that by ignoring what may be good for it's users mental health.

If Mark Zuckerberg saw what Facebook is today and what fuels it back in the early days I'd suspect he'd be disgusted by it and the direction it's trying to drag people into (Metaverse). It's worse than big tobacco because people don't need to go out and buy or pay for social media in the traditional sense. They just need to pick up something they likely already own and pay with time. They don't know the motive is ad revenue, not their own well being. Social media are marketing sales companies. But they claim falsehoods such as entertainment or community. They don't highlight how those things get them paid on earnings calls. They talk about their ad revenue.

Social media should require a label every time a user opens the app. A warning, no different than cigarettes. Showcasing the negative mental state its users can have, showcasing the negative an echo chamber can create and showcasing how people can become so sick they make life altering choices due to consuming social media.
Replying to a complaint about low-effort comments with your own low-effort comment?

Meet Your Trash
Even through the worst of the pandemic, children going to school has always been my primary concern. I'm totally fine with having to work from home for a few more years. Restaurants and big events closed sucks, but I can live with that. I personally really miss church, but I can totally see how a big crowd indoors singing is one of the most high-risk activities you can do. I'll survive.

But children need school. They need to socialise. Homeschooling can work, but it puts a serious strain on the parents, the kids, and their education. Until last week, Dutch kids would be quarantined until tested if a certain number of their class mates tested positive, but in the face of omicron, that lead to entire schools closing, so they ended that.

With everybody vaccinated and boosted, Covid is as under-control as it can possibly get. It's not going to get better than this for the time being, and with the vaccine and omicron's lower lethality, deaths seem to be down. The biggest problem there is that there are still unvaccinated people occupying ICU beds, leading to non-Covid related treatment getting postponed, and sometimes leading to deaths.

I think we should still do all the low-hanging fruit: wear masks, keep distance where possible, wash often, but other than that, open everything that's not clearly a very high-risk activity. And voluntarily unvaccinated people should not fill ICU beds that other people need.
It could be years until we see a normal housing market
>>, when officials said it would not be dismantled again.

Well, then they either shouldn't have made such a promise, or you know, actually should have kept it and denied the permission for this.

Or maybe dismantling the bridge for literally 2 days and putting it back together really isn't such a huge deal as people are trying to make it out to be.
It's not really irreversible, it's irreversible by consensus. So if there is a consensus to roll back, it can be done. And in fact it has been done in the past

This is a meta-analysis so the conclusions will depend entirely on how they are filtering studies. A bit of their criteria:

> We have seen no studies which we believe credibly separate the effect of early lockdown from the effect of early voluntary behavior changes. Instead, the estimates in these studies capture the effects of lockdowns and voluntary behavior changes. As Herby (2021) illustrates, voluntary behavior changes are essential to a society’s response to an pandemic and can account for up to
90% of societies’ total response to the pandemic. Including these studies will greatly overestimate the effect of lockdowns, and, hence, we chose not to include studies focusing on timing of lockdowns in our review.

From my perspective, it would seem like "voluntary behavior changes" are a core element of lockdowns, so I am not seeing why they would wish to exclude that from their analysis (other than that it goes against their thesis?). Also, I think the Daily Wire article does a disservice to their readers by glossing over key caveats such as "voluntary behavior changes" effects on the pandemic.

Simple example: I used to be the maintainer of Dia, a diagramming program. It remembers what colours, line width, dash style etc you've last used, so you don't have to keep setting that. This can drastically reduce the number of steps needed per desired action, and reduces frustration, but it would not be great in a separate generic settings windows.

Thinking of my users (including myself) as goldfish is useful: if you've just done a thing, it's likely you'll do it again.

> Breath through your nose.

I used to be a mouth breather at night due to a nasal passage so narrow that it would essentially close shut on inhale. If the air was very humid - like 100% – I was fine. Otherwise, I would wake several times during the night practically choking from a dry throat. What solved this was a cheap silicone nostril tube insert. It dilates my nostril letting the air flow. It took a few days to build the habit of sleeping with my mouth closed, but this little tube massively improved my sleep.

My pet peeve is that by default on most Linux distros nowadays, when I type in "vi" I get the Crayola® colours of Vim.

If I wanted Vim I would have typed in "vim". I'm editing a .conf file, not hacking the kernel source code.

(Also I have no need for all the colours of the default ls(1): a simple 'ls -F' will do for showing the characters "/@*" for their type. No need for the Technicolor®.)

The largest fines are to US tech companies, which is expected due to (a) the fines being proportionate to revenue and these being the largest companies in the world and (b) these businesses having a significant involvement in large scale tracking of users.

I think the argument of like "well the law was passed to harm US companies specifically because US companies specifically do this" ignores that this is a undesirable behaviour with significant negative externalities, so this feels a bit like complaining that encouraging green energy at the expense of fossil fuels is discriminating against Russia and the middle east.

Once we get past the tech companies the next biggest fine is for H&M, for surveillance of call center employees, not just at workstations (which is probably also not allowed), but in their private lives, disclosure of that detail with managers, and targeted harassment from that information. This seems pretty egregious, and not political retribution against the UK.

Next up are some Italian companies fined in Italy, UK companies getting fined _by the UK_, and Vodafone subsidiaries getting fined everywhere. You could argue Vodafone is a UK company being unfairly targeted, but from what I remember of coverage of the (Spanish, I think?) ruling, they're a repeat offender in this regard.

It's also entirely legal to pay someone to lick your boots clean, but I would still consider a person vile that did that.

I don't know to what extent any original parts of the bridge will get replaced etc, but even if it is 100% restored it sends a pretty disgusting message, that there are private individuals that are so powerful that they can literally have city infrastructure dismantled for their pleasure.

Even if it doesn't cost the city a cent, it still very clearly establishes who's in charge.
I discovered this online tool because it was mentioned on the popular YouTube channel "Two Minute Papers" by Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér, a computer graphics researcher who is very excited about the underlying technology, Mixbox, which is described in a December 2021 technical paper linked here: https://scrtwpns.com/mixbox/

I'm not a digital artist, so I can't comment on how it compares with other available tools. But I had a lot of fun playing with the browser-based demo. It feels much more realistic than anything else I've used.
That's what's good of the Framework. Definitely, the keyboard and screen are the first filters, then specifications. There's really not many options for powerful laptops outside gaming now. The keyboard on this one, it's wonderful.

With a friend, we had an idea of making custom keyboards for all laptops. With a 3d printer you may get away dealing with most of the covers. We desisted from the idea noticing that to change the keyboards you have to practically disassembly the complete laptop, testing would be very expensive too.
> Common problem that words are taken to heart by those that weren't meant to do that in the first place.

I’m not so sure about that. I think many of the opinions shared on social media are ones that people are passions about. Even if it’s unconsciously passionate.

> But I think there cannot be objective rules. Sure, you can scrap some vulgar words but even that could be negative. It is a problem that has to be solved on the receiving end.

Indeed. Which is why Facebook are losing members. To quote the movie “Wargames”: The only winning move is not to play.

> I think indignation of what other people say online is the vastly larger problem than any conspiracy. What we have seen related to comments about Covid was not pretty. It really underlined why content should be as unrestricted as possible.

The comments about COVID come from the same folk that follow conspiracy theories. The problem is once you stop listening to science and assume that experts cannot be trusted, you’re then defaulting to a position that there must be a conspiracy. It doesn’t mean all folk who are curious are worshipers of Qanon but the fact remains they still believe there is a conspiracy.

I've been using taxis in my city for like 50 times, and I've never even felt remotely in danger, except when I was in a Tesla taxi. The driver were well composed, calm and seemed rational, but we've had 5 (!) near crash situations in a 15 minute drive, simply because the car can accelerate into spots opening up in moderately dense traffic so quickly that nobody can expect it.

The car enables a completely novel driving style which people need getting used to.
"It’s like a doubling up. The homeowner goes to buy the next home, move up or move down. And because mortgages are so cheap, it’s a really good time to keep the first one as a rental unit. And so each year I go to buy a next one and I keep my first one. And so that’s one big phenomenon. And all of a sudden I’m a real estate investor. And at the same time, institutional money’s been cheap. There’s a lot of news about the big private equity funds buying up homes, but it’s actually the individuals who are driving most of it. So in the last decade we’ve taken 8 million homes out of the resale cycle and moved them into the investment rental part of the pool. And that’s, you know, 9% of all the single family homes."

This tells me that home seekers should be making offers to landlords rather than wasting their time making cold offers for people's primary residence. I bet a lot of those small time landlords are nervous about cash flow, and you could find one that's ready to get out.
There are many different criteria to decide where to put your code or how to group it. And each case benefits more from one idea or another (and each codebase contains many different cases). Humans don't organize knowledge in folders in their brains. The information network is much more complex. We can't find a good solution only with folders.

In fact, the idea of trying to model complex systems in a text format divided in files (most programming languages) doesn't quite hold... gracefully at least. For example, the frequent discussions about inheritance and generics are pretty revealing of the fact that we mix modelling and implementations in the same working space, when in fact in many cases it would be better to work on those at different layers.

So, in my opinion, to really make "code colocation" better you would kinda need to start modelling complex systems with richer toolsets that don't try to express them only with code files. You can't properly work with complex systems with a single view, no matter which one you pick.
In those interventions it's not 100% clear the car would have generated an accident. They get very "close" so the driver intervenes. And of course this is the safe thing to do. But highly sensitive AI driving should be able to come much closer to crashing than the average human, without issue. Perhaps it's the drivers that will need to adapt. Is Tesla accounting for this fear factor already?
I apologize for the pedantry but "blockchain" != "cryptocurrency." My inner cynic is bearish on cryptocurrencies, VR (at least in broad adoption), and to a lesser extent blockchain tech but of the three the one that has the least-worst chance of finding a useful broad fit IMO is the use of blockchain tech since it's really nothing more than a trustless method of double-entry accounting and a potential means of avoiding the risk of direct federation for service providers (you stop being the single point of failure/data breach target).

Sadly I also suspect that blockchain will go down with the whole cryptocurrency ship due to guilt-by-association, much like the AI winter that followed the overhyped 1980s era took with it a number of viable limited-domain solutions that had to wander the desert for 20-30 years before being revivified for the current AI/ML efforts.
Yeah, I discuss something similar in the article, except I use an array of functions (search for "array of functions"), which is significantly faster than hashing and a hash table lookup. It was very slightly faster than switch, but I decided not to use it:

> This only gave me a 1-2% speed increase on GoAWK’s microbenchmarks (see results and code). In the end I decided I’d rather stick with the simpler switch code and find other ways to improve the speed. And when the Go compiler supports jump tables for switch, I’ll get a 10% improvement by doing nothing!
> What I can I do with 100's of millions of dollars worth of tainted ETH ?

For instance you can spent few millions and get literally every re-used address tainted. Just sent $1 worth of ETH to top 1,000,000 single address holding meaningful amount of ETH, or expensive NFTs, etc.

Then every legit exchange will have huge issue with maintaining blacklists. Oh and you can also sent 1 million to random people and 1 million to your own addresses.

Or just sell some of your crypto on P2P exchange at 2-3x rate with collateral. There will be literally thousands of people who gonna be happy to accept your tainted ether if you pay them good enough.

PS: So I literally see tons of opportunities how to do this kind of mixing. Yeah you'll lose huge percent of money, but even half of 300 millions is a lot of money.

Well the conclusion that "cows use a lot of water. We have a water shortage. Ban cows" hold today. Because most cows are not pasture-raised on un-irrigated pastures (yes. That's a thing).

And cows eat a lot of imported corn and therefore the the numbers are wrong? Well. At least not completely. The crop using the largest percentage of water in CA is alfaalfa. Feed. Either used locally as feed, or exported as feed.

It is grows all year round and takes the crown of being the crop that uses the most water in CA (out of a percentage of the total).
