I'll add 2 things here in the spirit of the discussion.

One, I dabble in amateur fiction writing as a hobby. And I'm a man, but a big percentage of my readers are female. One thing I've been hit on the head with repeatedly, when getting feedback from female readers, is how often how sensitive they can be about the exact choice of words or phrasing I use. My 1st draft will be a certain way. After getting feedback from female readers, I often have to revise the text to tweak the words and phrases in it, to make it less distasteful or alienating for them. Note... this is NOT me "perceiving" it to be this way -- instead it is based on what happens factually. Over the years since 1st getting bitten by this (decades now) I've learned enough about the gender differences in reading perception that it doesn't bother me as much anymore, and I can more often make my 1st draft such that it lacks these kinds of "gender perception difference bombs".

Basically, as a fiction writer, you must be VERY aware of gender differences, at scale, in order to produce the most popular final draft. Any experienced writer will tell you this.

Two... I got into the Wordle playing thing, and in recent weeks there was a solution word which caused a minor kerfluffle among fans. I was on Twitter one day and stumbled into threads where lots of women were complaining about that day's solution word. Some said it was soooo bad, that when a female player would only hear indirectly about how icky the word was on Twitter -- without literally seeing the answer -- they could often guess what it was, in 1 attempt. just 1 attempt! And they would post screenshots and result shareouts to prove they could solve it in 1 attempt.

The word was "moist".

MOIST!

I remember it when it happened because for me, for whatever reason, it had taken like 5 tries to solve it, with no outside social media hints. Yet lots of women were nailing in 1 or 2 tries.

So... never tell me that males and females are identical or somehow "equal" when it comes to "neural language wiring" or at least not in their reading perception biases.

We are different. In broadstrokes. At scale. Reliably.
Look after yourself first. If you can give more and choose to that’s nice to do.

I once gave more than the standard - I gave a few months’ notice to a company that had been good to me as there was no internal backfill to my role and I was moving overseas so there was no impact to my plans.
We use it on all platforms _except_ iOS, for binary size/memory reasons.

(iOS 15 bumped the Network Extension memory limit to 50 MB, but we still need to be super trim for iOS 14's 15 MB limit)

Whatever, but if someone of the "Distinction Criteria is existence of MMU" crowd comes and claims the 8086 is not a microprocessor, because it doesn't have an MMU (which would be a logical conclusion from the article). i'll probably not be respectful.
Nothing is being asserted. Statements 1 and 2 are truths, and from those two truths, we arrive at an ounce of prevention that we'd be wise to heed, whether our assumption is correct or not.

I made a tool like this called humble[0] with a CLI interface that base64 encodes and inlines everything in an HTML file, images, audio, video, CSS, JS, favicons, cursors. The file sizes will be large of course (base64 encoding incurs a 34% size penalty), but useful in cases where you want portable single file documents.

Why is that a problem, though? If we assume that the Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp apps all have some levels of good behavior and bad behavior, then we can probably assume that the "Meta App Store" would be similar. So what's the big deal if they require you to install it?

They could also just offer direct app downloads from facebook.com, instagram.com, etc.

So what? This feels like a nothingburger to me. Given how sideloading is a much less pleasant experience on even Android (and we can expect Apple to do worse), Facebook wouldn't leave the main App Store without an earth-shattering reason.

Yes, but that was pretty much it: GOTO, GOSUB, and NEXT. And GOSUB is pretty much useless for building control flow equivalent to while/try/catch/... and even just if/else, or only "if" with more than one statement. NEXT works for only special cases of "for". So, most of the time, GOTO it is...
Totally, I agree, animating on 2s/3s is teetering on the edge of slideshow. Dropping to twos & threes probably really is much more about economy than style, but your last point is part of why I think it’s not only about economy, right? It definitely seems to help a lot when the animation rate changes dynamically and fluidly, using 2s and 3s for slow stuff and 1s for action. I never noticed as a kit watching cartoons how often the frame rate varies.

> we regularly made a practice of taking the ultra-smooth tweens it made a putting it back on twos

There’s something interesting here, and maybe this does relate to @matt-attack’s point. In your case, I wonder if too smooth is a real thing, an actual animation quality problem with too much mushy motion and not enough detail. Like crappy CG has this problem a lot, it’s too smooth, which makes it ugly / fake looking. Reducing it to twos ironically does help sometimes because it hides the lack of motion detail, but it also helps

Only useful if a microcontroller peripheral doesn't already exist for the thing you want to do and you have some sub-millisecond latency requirements. If a calculation can be vectorized a CPU or GPU is really fast.

At normal speeds, an image can take 10-15 ms to clock out of the sensor. At that point, there's little reason not to run your image processing on a $3 CPU rather than $$$ FPGA because what's another < 30ms at that point and what would need a reaction that quick anyway?

Why do countries use propaganda?
Why do companies use it?
Why do people use it?

Because changing what is important to a group or people can make pushing your agenda easier.

What would be important to China's propaganda wing? Most important would be to maintain control over China and downplaying anything that reflects negatively. So controlling negative speech or shifting blame to someone else if a covid virus is discovered to original from territory you control would be important.

If both iOS and Android allowed sideloading this would be a much more attractive option. As it stands something like that isn't really worth while because most high-value consumers of mobile apps use iOS.
Really depends on the sort of "windows-only" jobs you're thinking of.

My startup is mostly Windows, but that's because we're doing AAA game development and still have some tooling that is Windows only at this stage.

I find that with WSL2, I can do everything I need. A fair bit of my day is spent in emacs.
Did they get an offer like that, or did they work there when it was 10 people? Because that makes a big difference.
As long as the iOS model exists, the sideload store model is only viable on Android, and vendors are forced to support the first-party store model anyway. If both ecosystems allow sideloading, you could easily imagine Microsoft or Epic switching to sideload-only and branding their own stores across Android and iOS. As it is now, if you can get something first-party on iOS but are forced to sideload on Android, it just makes the Android experience for Fortnite (or whatever) seem janky.
There was a doula on a 2004 episode of "Frasier" [1] which is probably where I learned the word.

Looking through that file, I didn't see a single goto (but I could have missed one) that didn't go to one of: unlock_out, out, or error. I don't think there would be any diminishment of runtime efficiency if you dropped the goto statements, and it may actually improve performance to drop them since they correspond to a jump that could be removed from each of their occurrences. Though it would also increase the code size (everything in that section of code has to be replicated), so that could be an issue. Tradeoffs, would have to be measured to know for sure.

However, they do improve the maintainability of the code. I find it interesting, looking at them and having done a quick reread of Knuth's take on goto statements (for another comment I made here) that these uses correspond to what other languages possess as syntactic elements in the structured programming vein, which is one of the things he discusses in favor of both structured programming and goto statements. In favor of structured programming, you get new syntactic elements that provide useful semantics that make the code clearer. Why are we doing this jump? Oh, it's a conditional (if/then/else) or a loop (for, while). But when you lack the syntax and semantics for that, the goto statement can fill in the gaps (when used carefully, deliberately).

Specifically, out mostly corresponds to defer (in Go) or finally in other languages. error is like try/catch/finally in Java and others. unlock_out would be like the with statements you get in some other languages.

EDIT: Reexamined this specific source file. Most of the out sections are 0-2 statements in addition to the return. So in the 0 case, there ought to be a performance improvement by just returning, though I imagine a compiler can optimize the goto's away. In the 1-2 statement range it'd be a tossup on whether the increase in function size would cost more (cache miss and similar) than the indirection itself costs. I only saw one (it's a large file, I didn't look too closely) that had a larger out section than 2 statements, and that one had enough that the indirection is probably worth the performance cost.

But, in all cases (except the 0-statement case) it still is better from a maintainability perspective, whether or not it helps performance. In the 0-statement case, I wonder if they're vestigial. If there were other statements included that were dropped for some reason. But I'm not going to dig further into this because now it's time for me to study.
> the relative stability in post-Christian Europe

Relative stability might be too presumptuous. Far right politics in Europe is playing better now than it has in generations, AFAIU. Largely for the same socio-economic reasons it has in the U.S. and elsewhere. The rise of conservative populism is a global phenomenon, which is strong evidence for it having a shared origin, such as trade-induced labor dislocation, the rise of social media, etc.
Maybe, but this CEO is going to be a stain on their reputation.
OS users are vastly more lucrative, being more likely, and willing, to spend money.

iOS has a lower-cost of support, with lower fragmentation and higher churn.

With enough profit on the line, more companies would be willing to suffer the lower user acquisition rate that would come from side-loading.
Bottom 30% even - we must have a somewhat equitable distribution of opportunity, otherwise you end up with unrest.
The opposing side of the one you seem to be identified with would probably say the same thing, but related to joining the EU in the first place.

If I may perhaps suggest, perhaps, just maybe, it could be worthwhile for you to stop seeing politics in everything and focus on something other than politics, like these scientists are doing?

They don't care about EU, Brexit, who the hell is the British PM. Whatever. They just want to build a smart, sustainable and cheap way for humanity to harness energy from our universe. That's super cool. Imagine if they remained in their homes tweeting about Brexit all day long? We'd be burning fossil fuels forever until we kill ourselves out of smoke...

I don't know, just maybe it would be interesting, who knows...

Yes, interesting point. I worked in book stores for years and use the term coffee table book specifically for the format. I'd certainly use it interchangeably with a certain style of reference book.
These kinds of monopolistic practically unavoidable parts of our lives should have been regulated long ago already. I'm afraid given the existing political climates and tech lobbies that they will still just circle around the problems though.
A lot of industries make sense in the context of their time, I'm sure having a few papers with esteem and influence as primary status indicators made a lot sense back in the day.

There's just some things that are stuck in rigid unchanging organizations/industries. Anything heavily government reliant or bureaucratic, which universities are probably the best example of, is going to be extremely slow at adapting to the world.

Just like how lawyers still use fax machines.

It's extremely hard to be different and make change/stand-out in those organizations. Which also relates back to the articles point about cultural insularity.
It's somewhat the opposite in fact (not exactly low status, but not on the forefront of a cool job either). It's the wordcel vs shape rotater meme/discourse.
> compared its magnitude to a different problem.

Nagging someone for their onlyfans details is a form of "cat-calling, profanities and other verbal abuse". It's not "a different problem", just because it involves an Internet word.

> The original commenter was talking specifically about pornography

Yes.

> your comment straw-manned this as somehow a wish to "wind back the clock"

No, that was a specific reference to the original commenter's claim that "art and entertainment these days are void of any real complex romantic plots or subplots. It's all quarantined off into the world of hardcore porn.".

That claim is so laughably ignorant that no straw-man is needed:

- It ignores Sturgeon's law (that most of everything is crap; regardless of when it was made)

- It's ignoring survivorship bias (that great works will be long treasured and easily recalled; whilst the crap will get forgotten)

- It's ignoring availability bias (that examples from "these days" will be drawn from what's close-to-hand; not necessarily the best of what's out there right now)

- It's ignoring that porn has permeated media since pre-history; that some of the earliest photos and film are pornographic; etc.

- It's claiming that this is somehow a new problem, despite kids having access to pornography long before smartphones were invented.

and so on.

The algorithm is really good! At overfitting. Snark aside, what you describe is short form videos intended to show off or cash in to a trend: that it’s not stupid cat videos, or dance-offs or whatever doesn’t change that.
Zwift is targeted towards users who are somewhat serious outdoor cyclists and want an indoor training tool. I'm skeptical that they would want a Tron type game.
And you can evaluate fusion reactor components without fusing anything. Or are you disagreeing because I summarized it with the term plasma science? In that case, I was not really happy with the term either but could not come up with anything better. My point however is that Wendelstein 7-X is not intended to fuse anything, not to precisely describe the nature and goals of the experiments.

Google translation of the beginning of the Strahlenschutzaspekte (radiation protection concerns) section from the German Wikipedia article [1]. There will only be a tiny bit of accidental fusion.

Wendelstein 7-X only examines plasmas made of hydrogen (H) or deuterium (D), so it does not use a mixture of deuterium and tritium, as is necessary for later fusion reactors. The omission of this reduces the release of neutrons and enables access to the facility and the surrounding instruments immediately after the end of each experiment. This facilitates modifications for subsequent experiments. During operation, however, access to the torus hall is generally not possible for safety reasons (danger of voltage flashovers, stored energy in the magnetic fields).

Hydrogen is provided as the working gas for normal operation. In addition, experiments with deuterium are to be carried out in order to extrapolate the properties of a plasma mixture of deuterium and tritium. Fusion reactions between deuterium nuclei, in which neutrons are released, can occur to a small extent. To shield them, the torus hall is surrounded by a 1.8 m thick wall made of borated concrete.

The conversations would've been held elsewhere. Control the biggest platform, people gravitate there, shut down the topics you don't like, pay big names to visit the Forbidden City.
And no user-facing UI apps do this or are built for it, and no desktop environment has any kind of support for doing it.

It just doesn't work in practice.
Same for age role, socioeconomic role, or racial role. I wonder why we only talk about gender roles.
> If Twitter/Facebook start forcing people to install their third-party store to access their app, then there's a massive opportunity to make a better app that's distributed through the App Store.

Wouldn’t Twitter, Facebook etc in turn demand that those third-party apps be taken down from the App Store?

And even if they didn’t, how is any third party going to keep up with Twitter/Facebook/etc API changes.

And what about push notifications? Those would not work with a third-party app installed via the App Store unless Twitter/Facebook/etc explicitly made it so that they supported that on their end.

For example, here’s a blog post from 2016 about how the Riot app for iOS is able to get push notifications when you self-host a Matrix server. https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2016/12/11/riots-magical-push-n...

A lot of people are happy to give more notice depending on the circumstances. In my past experience doing career coaching it really came down to an expression of the employer relationship characteristics.

In general it's a good idea to give some reasonable notice and it can even help you claim some respectability, again depending. If you might work with those coworkers again in the future it might also help them save face when deciding to work with you.

Some folks don't like it and would rather this be more info-transactional, like clicking "cancel account" but for now it's generally worth respecting where it applies.
Interesting take.

Two things I would comment on are:

Not very. You can scp and rsync over it. You can run with or without a pty. That's pretty much it. It should work with git!

You probably shouldn't do port forwarding on Fly.io; if you're running into an actual need for that, we should talk about extending our network access control model.
Calling it a "relatively small subset of the Steam library" seems like a bit of a stretch. Proton is promising, and it doesn't seem like performance will be an issue for the vast majority of Steam games.
this here is the real answer.

So, if a majority of Apple's shareholders feel a different way from just maximizing profits then changes could be underway.

My only issue with this is that I can go to my password manager and I have like 10 different Microsoft accounts over the years, some of which seem to be merged, some of which are not, some are from Microsoft acquired entities like Skype and all of them confuse me.

I seem to be able to use some of them to login to the same merged account and others don't work anymore at all.

Microsoft's entire auth ecosystem since Live has been a confusing mess for me especially when they acquire someone and start bringing them into the fold.

I tend to just avoid it, I'm not deep into the Microsoft ecosystem and rather not have the headache at this point.
Negative. If we want to "change the game for the survival of our species" that would be fission, a super-mature and proven technology that is already widely deployed.

As far as "carbon sequestration" - that is just a tree. No R&D required.
I have no idea why you're so fixated on Twitter. The people you're responding to are obviously saying that K-12 education, college admissions, and as a result, science is being politicized.

i can certainly believe that composting is amazing at dealing with all sorts of contaminants, but as @hedgehog sorta points to, i'd be worried that the sheer variety of contaminants you could get at a larger population level would present some significant unknown/unforeseeable risks. on a smaller scale, like a single family/household, i'd expect those risks would be more ascertainable and mitigatable.

You just have the peripheral DMA and flag/interrupt when done. If you need an "immediate" reaction you use a DSP. There are only so many useful calculations you can do with a single input stream and DSP can handle them.
