Meat - sorry, Meta - is going to be taken down by antitrust actions long before any of that becomes possible.

Ironically (IME) Facebook is mostly ignoring the one thing it's almost good at and which distinguishes it from TikTok - running the space that used to be filled by mailing lists and discussion groups.

The social element is more than a little half hearted now. And Second Life 2.0 isn't going to improve anyone's day any more than Second Life 1.0 did - smart glasses or no.
I’m only a single point, but I have Oculus and an old Xbox. I spend much more time on the latter.

The Oculus is painful to wear for more than half an hour. I can only play when everybody has left the house or is asleep, lest I bump into them. I forget to charge it. The games are mostly mediocre. It’s difficult to show people what to do, even to put it on, especially if they wear glasses. Sharing is uncomfortably intimate.

I’ve found Oculus to be a novelty. It’s fun for the first 20 minutes, and after that, it gathers dust in a drawer.
I don't know. I make a point of refusing to do office politics and being purposely fact-oriented, honest and "naive". It probably blocks some career possibilities but enables me to get things done where others can't, and I like to think also gain my colleagues' trust.

I found inside a given university job, lets say a PhD or postdoc, it is easy to just do your thing and ignore politics. There is almost no consequences for anything, as opposed to in industy. The kicker is only when you switch jobs. You need to have connections, and goodwill.

So, once you have a permanent position and are the king of the island, you can basically do whatever you want. You only have to play politics with the university leadership and funding agencies, but otherwise you can just do your thing. Of course, for the less priviliged people under you, this feels like politicking.
my gut reaction was "no, that's exactly why they don't want these sorts of constructs" but the alternative (only allowing it in init statements) is worse I think. Only allowing in init statements is how you end up with the c++ initialization mess.

Re; your example, what about

tmp := a ? b : c
f(tmp, d, e)

Even in C++ that's likely how I'd write it.
I'm sure you'll likewise approve when the next conservative administration uses these emergency powers to deprive Black Lives Matter protesters (or indigenous rights protesters or whatever they have up there) and anyone who supports them of their access to banking and insurance, right? Because the BLM protests were a hundred times more disruptive to commerce, which appears to be of paramount importance to people like you.

> Should police refuse to use force against someone actively breaking into a home, just because the burglar is just a "suspect"?

No, the government is empowered to arrest the trespasser based on reasonable suspicion that a crime is taking place. And that's what they do.

> Courts will be involved if a crime is being committed

No, the role of the court is determine whether a crime has been committed.

> This is no different.

Which is exactly why the twitter thread points out that the only correct course of action in a country with a functional rule of law is to arrest the protesters/trespassers, remove their vehicles from the streets, charge them, and follow the established due process under the law to determine their guilt and punishment. It appears the first step of this process is underway as we speak.
Plus at least for running you can just run faster and make up for that 20% effioency gain. I personally do not think excercise is very good for losing weight but that particular argument is BS.
grahar64, my nephew is in the same situation as your son he became diabetic at 18 months too, I want to ask a question, did your son get T1D after 18 months vaccination ? because my nephew got ill three weeks after vaccination. I think these data is not entered into the medical system, and if it is not entered no correlation can be made about the possible side effects of vaccines on the population at large.
May God help you and your family.
I love how one comment after you told someone they're terrible you're chastising someone for insulting you, I find that very funny.

If you’re an Apple shareholder or employee I think you should be able to request the details of Tim Cook’s compensation package directly from the company and read what it says for yourself, then you can make up your own opinion about it. I don’t know if that’s actually possible or not but by “should” I mean I think that should be available.

If you’re not a shareholder, board member, or employee, then I don’t see what this transaction has to do with you and I don’t understand why you or any publication should feel the need to read or have a “take” on it.
If it's anything like one of the places I've worked at, it doesn't combine. You're simply expected to be switched on throughout the work day.
Scientifically, "Black" is probably less of a race than "Hispanic" in a global context, possibly that's reversed if you focus just on USA though.

And neither are really races as science says were all the human race, just if you were going to say genetic similarity is 'race' that would be the case because of the vast diversity in African genetics that happen to have dark skin (which isnt even necessary to be 'black' in the usa.)
Punycode attacks can make this kind of verification basically impossible.

> move important discussions to somewhere that isn't Slack

At first I read this as having the discussion on a different medium in the first place, which seems a bit extreme. But from the rest of your comment I think mean just copy the discussion rather than move it, by copying and pasting (or manually re-summarising) elsewhere. I definitely agree with that. As you say at the end, that's a good idea even if Slack messages aren't auto-destroyed. (But there are definitely cases where it seems like you'll never need some scrap of information again and then it turns out you do.)
Take my words by what they mean, i.e., 1) not 2), which seems logical to me when I say that vaccine doe not prevent infection.

The world of academia is neither meritocratic nor fair. Everything from start to finish is based on mere politics, boot licking and any shenanigan known to man. There's are lots and lots of spoiled apples anywhere, no matter the country or institution.
True and most large organisationa are institutionally rigid by default. They also don't like back-pedalling because shareholders get funny and share price is the main driver behind their decisions.

Even with massive amounts of cash, you can only support 72000 employees for so long. With most of these things, if you get enough downward momentum, income dries up, layoffs start, customers get more nervous etc.

I guess we don't have too many stories of very long-lived companies (certainly of Faang size) that have survived the changes in the world unless they have stuck to a strong core product, which hasn't changed so much in 100 years+ like cars, boats etc. What I wonder is if it is possible that a 1 product company like Meta can really survive in the long-term.

Hygiene is pretty important in the business I work since some of our devices come in contact with drinking water. But I can assure you that hygiene often does not correlate with outside appearances.

Still, we have rules for people that have customer contact because people are still judgemental, even if they are often demonstrably wrong.
> I lived off-grid for a long time and it probably made me more of an addict.

it was the same for me. The first time when I returned back to civilization I was overwhelmed by the emotions of being among humans again. Shopping malls, busy side walks, traffic or more than 3 people in a room almost gave me panic attacks.

The addict in me said: "you've got so much catching up to do". "surely you earned the right to party a little after all this abstinence?".

I've been an addict all life so it would be preposterous to think I could kick the habit within a few months. What it did give me was the confidence to face my own feelings all by myself? Feelings I never faced being sober.

My second hike was well planned out and I cut down my drinking and smoking well before I left. Suddenly there was a destination (on the map) I had to reach in very specific time, a level of fitness required, a positive state of mind I wanted to be in much more than a blunt, a scotch or the approval of the opposite sex. Also what contributed was that I gradually replaced quite a number of relationships with more positive ones that supported and believed in me, and who didn't really know or care about the old me.

I'll continue to struggle because there is no cure for the human condition. It's not _one_ thing I have to do and some months later it's all different. It's playing the long game and realizing that even if I sometimes lose myself I must get back up.
You might be misleading because that paper was in your response when you said "Vitamin d, zinc and magnesium doesn't do shit.", which that paper clearly debunks.

But yeah, as I said in my OP, I would love to have a study comparing those. I will continue to take my chances with Vitamin D, Zinc and Magnesium than with a vaccine that was rushed.
Of course, eating less is the ideal solution if you can muster the willpower to actually do it - but that's a big "if" for many people...
I think we should go back to upgrade pricing. Software subscription doesn't work, it makes sense from a developer and business perspective, but makes zero sense to consumer. Apple trying to court consumer to subscription has largely failed.

A fair way would be the Apps wont be updated to include iOS (new) support. So after a few years if you decide to upgrade iOS, you will have to upgrade the Apps as well. Or basically buy the new version of App with upgrade pricing like you did in the old days.
What happens then though, is that the replacement take a lot longer than expected, because it turns out that the complexity in the old system had more motivation than expected and had a lot more problems it solved than was obvious. Fixing these issues then make the new system into almost as big of a problem as the old one, with the only difference in that now you at least have some people that understands it. For a while until enough people have left to again forget the workings of the system.

Sometimes the easiest way for a company to relearn about a problem space is to rewrite it though, so it is not necessarily a bad thing to do. It can also be that the market has shifted and some of the complexity in the old system was no longer necessary, so the new system ends up easier.

In any case, spending time understanding the existing system (including developers that point out corner cases and nonobvious cases) make the end result so much easier than adjusting a solution to handle a complication angle that wasn't part of the original plan.
It would be nice if articles actually made use of the possibilities of the Web: show me just the brief summary of what it's about, and let me click links to choose whether to read more about the science, or more about the 40 hectares of woods where the guy grew up.
It's about eating the same thing every day, that's how you lose weight

This simply isn't true at all, and you don't have to count calories per se. I lost quite a bit simply changing my diet. I kept most of it off for years: I gained some back when I quit nicotine, though (Quitting smoking changed my sense of hunger, and Im still upset about that). It wasn't quick weight loss and it came in stages, but I didn't count calories nor spend too much time thinking about food. I simply focused on getting more fruits, vegetables, and legumes when I could. (I completely dropped meat outside of fish, but it isn't necessary and was losing weight before that). I also rarely eat out, even when I've had work/school (I just brought something). This meant I could pretty well eat what I wanted and would just choose lower calorie things by default. As long as I ate fairly well most of the time*, I was OK. I didn't have to suffer the PMS hunger I get either: I would just eat something.

You can eat the same thing every day, mind you, and I've met a lot of folks that do. Generally, however, it is a lifestyle choice and you have to be careful to make sure you have enough vitamins and things. One of the three folks I'm thinking of made themselves sick by not including enough vegetables.

Metaverse is the whole reason they bought VR in the first place.

Well one obvious adaptation is losing fat = less energy needed to move the body.
This is not accurate, weightlifting with a reasonably difficult weight for your strength level is one of the most effective ways to burn calories.
Ah, redesigns, the preserve of the company who has run out of ideas. To be fair, I don't think that what Meta is doing is a redesign but plenty of other companies think that you make something look a bit swisher then everyone will come back.

My experience is that people care less about UI than most designers would like to admit. Of course, nice UI is nice but people would rather achieve a task for a cost and UI is just icing. Even worse is when you change the UI/UX, people get really annoyed at that! "Where is that button I always used to click to do X?" "Oh, you don't do it that way anymore! You need to relearn what you have spent the last 5 years assigning to muscle memory but hey, the site looks cooler right?"

I mean what else would you expect if you employ 500 designers? They have to do something.

Hey, thanks for much for this comment. I've personally experienced this and looked myself for an example when I first read your comment, but I couldn't find one.

Today I stumbled upon one. Here's a broken example query: linux next hop "[::]"

Here's the archive of the incorrect query result: https://archive.md/9WGe7

The first result (the man pages) does not contain [::] anywhere in the page text, the source, or the cached result. Could you take a look at this one?
> Losing your marbles might look a lot like what happens when you're desperately looking for something to reverse a decline.

Somehow it feels like Facebook is a Ponzi scheme, except with users not money. Valuation always seems to be based on user growth. It’s amazing to me how quickly the sense of desperation kicks in once user count flatlines.

"Traditionally" the people of Osaka, Sicily and various Greek islands are actually best at maintaining such healthy lifestyles, from what I recall from studies on longevity. Good diets, lots of mild exercise from long walks (on hilly terrain) and strong socal ties. I say traditionally because of course these studies can only really look at the lifestyles of past generations.

With that in mind the flat landscape of the Netherlands might be giving us a slight disadvantage ;)

I don't get it, the entire piece is a man old enough to qualify for tenure discovering that politics exists in academia? Written in the prose style of a Dan Brown novel? Could have at least given us the meat of the story here about what actually transpired because I honestly can't take that at face value

> The actual problem is visiting an unknown URL.

This should not be a problem. To the extent that it is, it's a software failure and a supplier failure, and the problem lies with the one-and-two-bits browser vendors.

> Don't visit URLs you don't trust

Harder than it sounds if you question what it means to "trust" a URL. Trust to do what? What systems are in place to ensure URLs can be "trustworthy"? Doesn't this just further shrink the internet to the five sites you do "trust"?

100% offline is basically impossible, but very limited and high latency (we had a 3 second ping) is doable. Mostly you have to remember to download things when you get the chance. Get offline copies of Wikipedia and stack exchange (via Kiwix), download package docs as PDFs.

Installing anything is a nightmare so work on a cloud system and run a job server if you're able to (eg jobs that take hours to days and need a connection). Pip is a disaster for this - download every wheel just to check the toml file for dependency resolution? Just doesn't work with poor connectivity. Get good with rsync and wget flags to manage partial downloads. My preferred method is to pull remotely and then rsync partial to a local machine over a few days. That's much more reliable than wget with the -C flag.

You end up building a lot of packages from source, a shallow git clone is far smaller than a compiled binary.

Forget Overleaf. Install tex locally like the old days.
I'm pretty sure you have that backwards. What you're describing is effectively trying to turn weigh-lifting into cardio, while most research shows that interval training / weigh training are more effective at burning calories than steady-state cardio.

Personally I don't see a reason to ban any given word, if it is a word and it is in a (accepted/common) dictionary it means that the word actually exists, that is (or has been) used, that people (at least some) know its meaning, etc.

On the contrary, when you ban some words, they form a "list of banned words", and you actually focus the attention on everyone of them.

Think of all the old manuals using the old IDE/ATA concept of Master/Slave (and later Cable Select).

Just trying to keep services operational is a fine goal to pursue as an operator, but forcing users to small inbound funnels for the service is detrimental too. There needs to be better research to be done to allow simpler ways of operation to continue working.

A browser is becoming a universal agent by itself, but many people (maybe increasingly) use terminal to access to the resources, and stonewalling these paths are never OK in my book.

The activity makes a big difference for me though. Running for example tends to not have a major impact on appetite.. sometimes I feel like it actually lowers my desire to eat. That's based on relatively short runs though (45-90 mins of activity). I don't know how I'd feel after a marathon.
